Description H.H. 2012-01-17 15:08:36 UTC
Version:           2.0 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When I open a folder, which has a folder with a "space" character in its path, the folderview on the left does not open/select/scrollto that folder.

for example a path like

/xxx/xx/xxx xxx/xxx

I am not sure if spaces are the problem, but this is the only differences I notice between working and not-working cases.

Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm the problem.
Comment 2 Frank Reininghaus 2012-01-19 08:00:00 UTC
The problem is in

void KFileItemModel::setExpanded(const QSet<KUrl>& urls).

This function contains the line

const QStringList subDirs = url.url().mid(pos).split(QDir::separator());

to determine a chain of sub folders leading to the url to be expanded. However, KUrl::url() returns a QString where special characters like spaces are encoded -> "xxx xxx" becomes "xxx%2520xxx". The expansion algorithm in KFileItemModel::slotCompleted() then fails to find the encoded url in the model.

So we should transform the KUrl to a QString without encoding it. I'll have a look at that later.

Handle folder names containing spaces correctly in the Folders Panel

The problem was that KFileItemModel::setExpanded() used KUrl::url()
to determine the names of the subfolders. This method encodes special
characters, such that comparing the folder names with the unencoded URLs
stored in the model fails.
Using KUrl::path(), which does not encode special characters, fixes the
problem.
FIXED-IN: 4.8.1
