The result is that I cannot use them in my box (which is OK, I just need to rename invalid characters, as I did in KDE 3.5.*). But, dolphin can't handle them, nor deleting, nor renaming, nor anything. I am not sure if it is a bug in the KIO_File or dolphin itself, but it annoys a bit, as it forces me to rename things though a konsole. Way to reproduce: 1.- Have a system in with a locale of UTF8 2.- Try to use a file with a NON UTF8 filename with special characters (for example áéíóú) in it. 3.- You will see that you can't do anything with it inside dolphin. (While I was testing, I realized that either konqueror can handle them, so it is definitely a KIO_File bug, but I don't know who to CC, so please do it for me :) ) 641037 1 andresbajotierra 2008-08-26 00:09:24 +0000 This is related/duplicate of bug 165400 / bug 165044 652203 2 anarky 2008-10-09 14:29:08 +0000 Same here with KDE 4.1.2 from debian experimental. This is a quite annoying one ! It also seems quite a lot of people encounter this, the status could be changed from UNCONFIRMED to something else. 683888 3 finex 2008-12-20 12:34:20 +0000 I confirm this bug. The bug #165044, which is the same as this, has been closed as WONTFIX. I've asked to reopen it. When it will be reopened/solved. This bug shouls be marked as dup. 683895 4 finex 2008-12-20 12:37:26 +0000 *** Bug 160072 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 921446 5 40970 andreas_nordal_4 2010-02-20 23:03:41 +0000 Created attachment 40970 program to create filename with all bytes permitted by Linux VFS 921459 6 andreas_nordal_4 2010-02-20 23:27:11 +0000 Forget encoding. Konqueror and Dolphin should take the bytes in a filename literally! I just submitted a test program that creates a file with a name containing all 254 bytes permitted by Linux VFS. This bug is not solved before Konq and Dolphin can open, rename and delete such files. By the way, I stumbled upon this bug today using Konqueror 4.4.0 and also confirmed it in Dolphin 1.4. What I did was to unzip a .zip archive from a friend using Windows - yet another source of non-UTF-8 filenames. 956382 7 veso_vdd 2010-05-03 17:51:34 +0000 *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** 988777 8 nevion 2010-07-12 07:45:05 +0000 Not just dolphin, and I understand it's a limitation of qfile/qt... but see, I don't care when I see everybody else working with broken encodings just fine. Rox-filer does a decent job even... I'm sorry to say this is plain unacceptable. 999835 9 andreas_nordal_4 2010-08-08 00:00:00 +0000 Limitation of qfile/qt? Never ever store a filename in a QString for later use! Doing that involves text codecs. Use QByteArray if you are so extremely keen. 1125449 10 StormByte 2011-05-30 22:07:02 +0000 I think this bug is ancient enough to be fixed: QT has evolved a lot (in case it is QFile related), and is present since KDE 3.5!!! I know it is not a life or death bug, but it is very very annoying... Any posibilities it can be fixed soon enough? 1171692 11 eth 2011-10-10 10:21:18 +0000 This stoneage bug REALLY should get fixed asap or at least a workaround besides going to the shell and do deletes/renames manually.... 1190761 12 info 2011-11-26 12:52:21 +0000 subscribe 1213715 13 eike.welk 2012-01-12 19:57:41 +0000 It would be great if some solution would be implemented.

It is actually one of the most painful issues having since switched to KDE 4 and especially native speakers might not be fully aware of this issue. Especially unexperience users will be completely caught up with some files they are not able to remove from the system anymore or making the trash bin broken. Eike actually provided some very good examples that allows to reproduce this issue very easily. I am not sure, why this issue seems to be that complicate it cannot be fixed. Maybe one developer with more insight in KDE might point out, where exactly the problem is originated?

Committed on 01/07/2013 at 10:28. Pushed by szokovacs into branch 'master'. Fix/workaround for legacy encoded filename handling This patch works around the problem of filenames that are not valid UTF8 strings: in KLocalePrivate::initFileNameEncoding() KDE sets the QFile's encoding/decoding function, to to/fromUTF8() in QString, which in turn calls QUtf8's converter function. I replaced this with the said functions' copy/pasted version and changed it, so when it encounters an invalid UTF8 string, it will encode it byte by byte, mapping the lower 128 their normal unicode place and the upper 128 to U+10FE00-U+10FE7F, and the decoder reverses it.
