An image affected by the bug can be found here: http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~lechner/IMG_4923.JPG SVN commit 1023241 by cgilles: patch from Alexey Morozov to fix encoding file path to use with KDE::rename() with image editor when a file is saved with unicode characters. Andi, Marcel, this problem can exist too in other place everywhere. We nned to check this point indeep before to release 1.0.0 It's possible that B.K.O files are fixed with this commit. CCBUGS: 206272 CCMAIL: morozov@gmail.com M +3 -2 editorwindow.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1023241 Gandalf, may it be that this happened to you when working in certain directories (containing non-latin1 characters?) As far as I remember, it also happened in directories with only usual characters in their names. Not entirely sure, though. I have the same symptom, but it seems not in the same circumstances. The problem never occurred until a few days ago and now it is systematic, with the same collection, on the same disc. There also is the additional symptom of problem aborted saving when saving under a different name to a different location (to /home). A different folder in my collection has "é" characters, but I (also) have the same problem with files in other folders.

Gandalf, Joachim, Do you use current implementation from svn, where i have applied a patch... with commit #1023241 Marcel, I have experienced this dysfunction too in the past. I never use accentuated char in file path/name. I suspect a badly initialized variable in saving context container... http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/graphics/digikam/utilities/imageeditor/editor/savingcontextcontainer.h?view=log Gilles I always use a fresh svn version. However, the problem appears in my case only sometimes, and I cannot tell if the last time I experienced it your patch was already implemented. I'll write here if the problem appears again. Regarding file/path names, I sometimes use German umlaute ä,ö,ü, but I think the last time I experienced the problem it was in a folder without these in its name. I frequently use blanks/spaces in my folder names - could this be a problem? I followed the advice and changed the name of the disc which had a "è" and the name of the folder, which had two "é" and all other nice letters in the environment that I could find. I also rebuilt the database. I have not changed anything to the system (DigiKam 1.0.0 beta 3 KDE 4.3.1) And I don't have the problem any more. :-) (so far, so good, I still don't understand why it did work perfectly some days ago, with accents in the file paths) Now I can use my favorite software again ! Thanks Hi everyone, I sometimes use "é, è, ø, æ, å" in my directory names and also experience this bug. Everything has always been fine (in digiKam and with other tools) until 2 or 3 weeks ago. Gilles, does 1.0.0-beta5 (released this week) contains commit #1023241? I am currently using Debian 1.0.0~beta4-2 and wondered if upgrading to -beta5 could solve it. If you need more debug information, just tell me how I can help... I'm eager to have this solved! :-) Cheers, -- Arnaud Arnaud, Yes commit #1023241 is included in 1.0.0-beta5 Gilles Good news: I upgraded to 1.0.0-beta5 and it now seems OK. Of course, I have tested only 5 minutes but "Failed to overwrite original file" errors I saw yesterday with -beta4 have not reappeared. Thanks! Arnaud, Please test indeep during few days and report again if all is fine. Like this i can close this file definitively (i hope (:=))))... Gilles Gandalf, Joachim, Please test with 1.0.0-beta5 and report. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier Hi everyone, It has been more than a week now, and I have not seen this issue with 1.0.0-beta5. Gilles: I think you can close this bug! Cheers, -- Arnaud |
