This problem also persist in 1.4.5. It manifest in: 1. inability to add media from directories containt utf character in names 2. problem in collection during scan phase (scan is stopped in the middle) I attached screenshot which shows such two folders, one of them with ł letter (l') kreated under konqueror and second under console (which resulted in different encoding, which is not a core problem here). The problem is that amarok does not allow to enter to such dir (pay attention to padlock which is NOT related to permissions - both dirs have correct perms). Konqueror and shell is able to enter such directory without any problem.

Can I reopen this bug? I have quite some Greek music in my collection but the texts are all unreadable.
No, you can't. Development on Amarok 1.x has stopped.
