Description Maciej Grela 2006-03-29 22:08:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
 
OS:                Linux

I have a server in my network running Win2k and having some samba shares. In these shares there are files/directories with polish letters encoded in cp852. These file names cannot be viewed properly when browsing using smb_kio. In place of polish letters there are squares. Setting the codepage for smb connections in control panel doesn`t change anything. Filenames look ok when I mount this share by hand:

smbmount //server/mp3 dir -o iocharset=iso8859-2,codepage=cp852

I also noticed that the number of squares displayed instead of proper characters is twice the number of missing chars - this would suggest that kio_smb converts them to utf-8 instead of iso8859-2 (which is the encoding I use on my system).

Win2K and kio_smb should be using Unicode. It looks like your files are actually misnamed...

Comment 2 Jerzy Goca 2007-02-03 15:57:47 UTC

I have the same problem.
Linux From Scratch. I use ISO-8859-2. My files are properly named. 
Even worse. When konqueror creates any files inside Windows share, the names are properly displayed in konqueror, but not in Windows.
It must be something wrong in kio_smb. 
It looks like the non utf8 host systems are properly handled in whole KDE, but not in kio-smb.
Is that true?

KDE 3 is no longer supported. Feel free to reopen this ticket if the issue is still present in the current stable version of KDE 4. Thanks for the report.
