Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-05-07 18:50:57 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)

I have mail with attachment

lista książek.xls

Note the polish characters. When I try to open it (on the fly), the temp files is created (as above + fancy prefixes and suffixes) but then I get the error from OOo that the file (I cut the temp prefixes and suffixes out)

lista ksi??ek.xls

does not exists (true). But I can open this temp file directly from OOo or from shell (launching OOo) without any problem. So how the parameter is passed to OOo?

LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-2

As stated in bug 181881 this also happens in KDE4.2

Comment 3 Martin Fitzpatrick 2009-04-04 04:01:40 UTC

Cannot reproduce this on KDE 4.2.2. Creating an app with that name, sending it to myself via email and then opening in OOo works fine. Can someone else confirm this on latest KDE build? Thanks

Comment 4 Michael Leupold 2009-04-04 17:00:55 UTC

I can't reproduce on trunk r948809 either. I suppose it might be (or might have been) a mismatch of the locale openoffice and KDE are using. Could you please recheck with a KDE4 version?

This bug might also be a kdelibs one...

I had the problem earlier - but recently it disappeared. This may although have been a openoffice or distribution problem
