Description Jörg Afflerbach 2009-06-10 17:48:17 UTC

Version:           0.8.80 (using 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)) "release 139", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.1-pae

Okular fails to open files which have a hashmark (#) in their name. 
How to reproduce: In an xterm type

$ okular chapter#11.pdf

where chapter#11.pdf is an existing PDF file.

Okular opens with the error message
"file:///home/joe/chapter kann nicht geöffnet werden."
translated "Can not open file:///home/joe/chapter"

Okular seems to load the file using an URI, where # denotes the fragment. So I guess the hashmark should be URL-encoded here.


$ konqueror chapter#11.pdf 

works as expected by the way

SVN commit 992393 by pino:

reencode the url from the argument, 'file:/' at the start (for local files)
then, do few checks to better strip the correct "ref" from other '#' in the path
