Fail when loading DICOM: Plugin failed: MultiVolumeImporterPlugin

Hello cracks,
a simple user see this warning and has no plan what to do:
Warning: Plugin failed: MultiVolumeImporterPlugin

See python console for error message.
DICOM Plugin failed: SetAttribute argument 2: (unicode conversion error)
DICOM plugin failed to load ‘9: Schulter spir. 1.0 B70s’ as a ‘Scalar Volume’.
Traceback (most recent call last):

reader.SetArchetype(files[0]);
TypeError: SetArchetype argument 1: (unicode conversion error)

I found the Plugin at github, but where it has to be placed or integrated?

thanks for help

It seems that there are special characters in the filename or folder where you want to import fats from. Rename the files/folders to contain only ASCII characters.

Just when you was writing i started to do this, and it works. there are some - ö - in the header.
Thank´s a lot for your help, really great project, I cross my fingers for you.
