Description
I am a new QGIS user and I'ld like to load a scanned map for geocoding.
The map is in a file on the desk top.
Launch QGIS
Click on icon add a raster layer
select the scanned .png map
error message as follows
"An error has occured while executing Python code:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The error message window is not closing except I close QGIS.
How could I manage this problem?

Hi,
what version of qgis did you used?
Can you attach here the raster that is giving you problems?

This is because the Value Tool plugin doesn't support non-ascii characters occurring in the name or path of your file. So no more details are necessary ;-)
I'm contact the author to correct this issue. Please temporarily disable the plugin in the Plugin Manager if this message is annoying.

Seems that the plugin has been updated and now works fine. Reopen if necessary.
