Thanks for reporting! Could you attach this file to allow me to reproduce it? If the file content is private, you could delete everything except the first line (or word).

Thank you!

I couldn't reproduce this error:

$ tid2md.py "Exactly which folders & files should I include in .gitignore_ _ r_godot.tid"
Exactly which folders & files should I include in .gitignore_ _ r_godot.md

I think "Exactly which folders & files should I include in .gitignore_ _ r_godot.md" was created successfully and the next file caused this error. It's unfortunate that the name of the file leading to this error isn't printed. I'll change this.

Maybe you can find the file causing this error by just printing all .tid files with ls *.tid and then checking which is the one after "Exactly which folders & files should I include in .gitignore_ _ r_godot.tid".

If you use the latest commit on the main branch, you should get the name of the file starting with 0xff printed.
