Face Transfer 2 cannot find input image [solved]

I just tried to play around with FT2 for the first time. After browsing to my picture folder etc. and press "generate" a pop up says "Input Image is invalid or cannot be found". This happens with G9 and G8. I tried a lot of images. All of them are jpg's. Even the same pictures what worked with FT1 long time ago. I use DAZ Studio 4.22.0.15 (the newest update) and I also updated the G9 Starter Essentials. Windows PC, GTX 1080Ti, newest NVIDIA driver. What can I do. Log file is attached. Thanks in advance!

You used the trial version FT2 or registered version (with serial number entered...) ?
Full registered version with serial number applied...
What is the path to the images?
D:\Eigene Dateien\Eigene Bilder\Eigene Alben 1\AnjaSpezial\für Face Transfer
nothing special...
Well... is there any special unicode character in the file name or folder / path of the image ? If so, pls rename them with ascii letters only, 'cause most of the plugins don't support unicode characters... AFAIK.
For instance:
- acceptable : abc.png
- unacceptable : àbç.png
" für " is not accetable... change it to "for"
Wow, thaaaank you! That's it! Looks like me (aaargh) but not from the side. But that is another problem... ;) Bought the FT2 Shapes and will try them immediately. You've made my day!
Yes, one should never use non-US characters in file or folder names. They may work with mainstream applications, but even in 2024 there are still situations where non-US characters do not work.
What I have learned today!!!
