Description Wilbert Berendsen 2009-03-21 08:28:10 UTC 
Version:           0.8.1 (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a LilyPond file called "tëst.ly" (i.e. with an accented character in it). When I run LilyPond on it, it generates a PDF with embedded textedit:// urls that point to the source document.

But LilyPond always encodes filenames in textedit:// URLs in UTF-8 encoding.

The problem is that Okular does not know that and so does not find the file and does not call the editor.

Possible solutions:
- don't test for existence of the file, just call the editor and let the editor try to open the file
- perform the conversion from UTF-8 once (using something like QString::fromUtf8(url.toLatin1()))
