Description contact 2010-08-19 02:51:28 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

When i download a file, it sometime have some invalid unicode characters in it (for example : �).
And because of that, I can't rename or even delete it with dolphin, or the « folder view » activity.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ touch test$'\351'e

Now try to rename or delete it with dolphin or a plasma widget.

Actual Results:  
I have the following error message : « The file or folder /home/palkeo/Desktop/�tait.txt does not exist. ».
But it exist and I can see it.

Additionaly, I have no previews of these files, and i can't open them in okular (same error as above).
