Description Rich Johnson 2008-02-28 08:35:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Am able to verify the behavior in KDE 3.x as well as KDE 4 from SVN.

----------------------------

The RegEx in the file /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/imageconverter.desktop are not correct. If you try to convert images in a folder named "No. 022" the conversion will not work proper. It will recognise the "." as the dot from a suffix and produces a Picture in the parent path called No.jpg. I am not good RegExp, so I am not able to fix that stuff.

Here is one of the bad lines ;)
 Exec=convert %f "`echo %f | perl -pe 's/\.[^.]+$//'`.jpg

The bug is not really in the regex -- the regex works from a command line.  It is to do with how KDE parses the Exec line.  See the launchpad bug report.

Works in KDE4.
