Description Andreas Bernauer 2007-05-29 11:24:37 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When started from command line, kpdf does not open a file whose name contains no path elements and contains a colon.  No error message (such as "Could not open ...") is displayed. The window title contains the filename part after the colon.

If I do:
[in /tmp, given a file named '/tmp/windows:200.pdf']
kpdf windows:200.pdf    

I see:
kpdf starts, no document is opened, no error message, the title says "200.pdf"

I expected:
kpdf should open "/tmp/windows:200.pdf" 
(or kpdf should display an error message, see notes below for why)


The following commands work, though:
kpdf /tmp/windows:200.pdf 
kpdf ./windows:200.pdf 
kpdf file:///tmp/windows:200.pdf 
kpdf file:///tmp/windows%3a200.pdf 

Notes: 
- If the colon is the first character, kpdf works as usual (that is, it opens ':13.pdf')
- The part before the colon can be anything (even 'http').
- This bug might be related to Bug #111760 ("colon in filenames causes problems", reported for kuickshow). The bug report says that kde expects a protocol name in front of the colon.  
Although I think kpdf should open the file anyways (as 'windows' is not a protocol, nor is the filename a valid URI), if there is no such protocol or file, kpdf should at least print an error message (such as "Could not open file 'http:13.pdf').

*** Bug 147808 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 4 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-08-02 14:07:46 UTC 
Is this fix was included in KDE 3.5.7?
Comment 5 Pino Toscano 2007-08-02 14:13:22 UTC 
No, it will be in KDE 3.5.8, in case it is released.
