Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-3.4.4 OS: Linux In KDE 3.3.x, when you click the "Services" menu and then "devices", you see all your harddisk partitions and removable devices you specify in your /etc/fstab. A typical entry looks something like: + Hard Disc (hda6) [/boot] In KDE 3.5.0 (actually since 3.4.x I believe), this feature has changed. Now a typical entry looks like: + 98M Media Because I think the previous style is more informative, so I try to change the name. I right-click on it, but "Rename" doesn't work. Then I choose "Properties", now if I change the name like above, I get the following: + Hard Disc (hda6) [%2fboot] i.e. "/" becomes "%2f". How do I get the correct character?
I can confirm this bug with kde 3.5.6 from fedora 7 testing.
Additional note, one of my drives by default had label of "/mnt/data/", I got the %2f when trying to rename to "/mnt/data [/sometest]" and couldn't rename to "/mnt/data". It became "%2fmnt%2fdata".
This bug is no more valid with KDE 4. If you want to request this feature back (devices list), don't reopen this bug but look for the already reported wish.
