Description Reiner Bielefeld 2005-10-24 13:25:39 UTC

Version:           3.3.6 (using KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" , SUSE 10.0)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-default

When I try to open a tif fax in a directory whith a german special character like /home/reiner/höfer kfax displays a dialog box that it can't open the file.
The Directory name contains trash in case of the special character.
Prossibly it's a Unicode Problem ?!

Since Mint 18.2 the German characters earlier used in different releases of Linux in file names will no more be depicted correct.
