Description Choe Hwanjin 2003-03-20 04:30:27 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (HancomLinux 3.0 3.2-7hl) 
OS:          Linux

If I run kghostview on command line like below:

$ kghostview "some_korean_named_dir"/test.pdf

kghostview doesn't open "some_korean_named_dir"/test.pdf file.
I think this is a encoding problem.
While I applied a patch below,  that works fine.

Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2003-03-20 16:02:26 UTC
Agreed. KCmdLineArgs::args(int) returns const char*. One should ALWAYS use one 
of QString's encoding functions on those, not allow default conversion. 
Comment 2 Luís Pedro Coelho 2003-04-03 23:18:33 UTC
This is partially my fault.  
It has been fixed in HEAD, but it needs backporting which I will do right away.

Comment 3 Luís Pedro Coelho 2003-04-03 23:49:58 UTC
I am committing to BRANCH the same main.cpp as HEAD, as I think it will fix this 
bug and it is simpler code. 
 
I was able to reproduce it on BRANCH using UTF-8 encoded dir-names and after 
this patch it seems to work. 
 
Thanks for reporting the bug,
