Description ralfgesellensetter 2010-12-23 00:36:42 UTC
Version:           0.65 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Krusader is really a cool helper, because it is the only file commander with a QUEUE function AFAIK. It's really helpful to copy large amount of files and directories to an extern USB hard disc.

But then, I have many files with German umlauts in ISO-8859-1 encoding; maybe they stem back from Windows times, or they come from extracted ZIP files.

Krusader (and dolphin, too) just claim that these files don't exist (umlauts are displayed as <?>). Here, good old midnight commander is the only rescue, because I can switch encodings there! It is still a huge pile of work to tidy up files with invalid names, that were omitted by Krusader :(

Is there any chance to get at least a rename feature that can handle miscoded characters?

Cheers 
Ralf

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Change encoding of files from within mc to ISO-8859-1 and copy files containing umlauts (äöüé)...

Actual Results:  
Files are omitted, "not present"

Expected Results:  
Files should be copied or at least a rename option should be offered.

Reproducible: yes (of course).

To track left out files, it would be great if the queue had a log window.

This needs to be fixed in KIO.
