Version: onbekend (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0) "release 16.3", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_10.3) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.18-0.2-default I'm copying all files from one hard disk to another, and the copy process fails on files with special characters / non-ASCII characters. This happens for example with artist names like "DJ Tiësto".
This doesn't sound like a KDE bug. Could it be that the filesystem doesn't support it, or isn't mounted with the right charset? Did you try from the command-line or with a non-kde filemanager to see if that worked? Although there's one additional restriction in KDE: all your filesystems must use the same encoding (charset).
Nope, I copied the files from one ext3 disk to another. Both disks were mounted with default options. Copying such file within the same partition seams to work in KDE 4.2.1 (I don't have the old disk anymore). > Although there's one additional restriction in KDE: all your filesystems must use the same encoding (charset). That seams like a bug to me :-|
My wife had the same bug today, with a USB stick containing wrongly encoded stuff on it (from a Mac or something). No way to delete them. Thiago, didn't you add a way to encode non-utf8 sequences into qstring for this? Or am I confusing things?
No. The code was added to Qt 3.2 and removed in 4.3. Wrongly-encoded file names are not supported.
