Duplicate of https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/issues/9 @damianbeasock It's another issue, see https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/issues/14#issuecomment-1595058840

Applied changes with commit https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/commit/539dc60a2f41f51d74884e335ac465d6d597c680, and some more 🚀

Should be finally working with commit https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/commit/6f5f2766118870a73dd42a0a7100f53ff31b33c5, see also https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/issues/15 🚀

It's probably the best to wait for Lua 5.3 support ("VLC uses Lua 5.1"). See [Lua: how to make os.rename & os.remove work with filenames containing unicode characters?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54118507/lua-how-to-make-os-rename-os-remove-work-with-filenames-containing-unicode-ch#comments-54137036)

Hard to reproduce on a Fedora machine. If there's anyone else with this problem, please report.

> I am having the same problem. I navigated to VLC - right-click on show package contents, then pasted the file into contents-->macOS-->share-->Lua-->extensions. No new menu item under View appears....

The only commands which might work are `net use` and `pushd`. But there's no native way to do it with Lua scripts - so I won't fix it. Another problem...

Workaround mentioned in the **Known bugs and issues** section

@ericsia @PeterFuhren :heavy_check_mark: I fixed that problem, see https://github.com/surrim/vlc-delete/issues/10#issuecomment-1341840927.
