Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: MS Windows Installed from: MS Windows Dolphin (and konqueror) display wrongly the path separator "\" in windows. Show: C:/folder/folder/hello.txt instead of: C:\folder\folder\hello.txt My OS: Windows XP Professional SP3 KDE: 4.2.0
It seems that all apps under windows enviroment suffer of this issue
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
I can reproduce it with KDE for Windows 4.8.0. Konqueror is also affected so this issue might be a general kde bug.
Is this still an issue in more recent versions? If yes, where exactly does Dolphin show this path with the wrong separator?
With the last stable release (4.8.0) in Dolphin If I change to Edit mode I read "C:/Program Files/KDE/bin/" instead of "C:\Program Files\KDE\bin\" and if I put the right path it transforms the "\" by "/" like in the original bug report.
Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still not sure if I understand the problem. Where exactly does Dolphin show that path?
Created attachment 79482 [details] URL bar bug with wrong symbols
Added the screenshot but only exist one place where you can see the full Path.
Thanks for the screenshot. This is not a Dolphin bug. The location bar is provided by KUrlNavigator from kdelibs, which uses KUrlComboBox to display the URL in editable mode.
This probably won't be fixed in the near future; Since / is a path separator and windows even understands it in some parts, we decided to not put to much effort in changing that. If people get to annoyed, we can reopen that bug again and fix it.
