Description Andrzej 2012-03-15 22:17:45 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #207157 +++

I cloned the bug because the previous one was closed but not solved.

Below I repeat the most important information:

I use:
Use Time & Date * EXIF/IPTC/XMP
Update Time & Date v File last modified

When I click "OK" there is some activity of my HDD  but then a message appears:

"Unable to update file modification time in:
file1.jpg
file2.jpg
file3.jpg
"

I know what is the problem:
Apparently this plugin has problems with national characters e.g.
I had to change the directory name from "zdjęcia" to "zdjecia" in order to make it work.

Hi Gilles

This seems to be an il8n(internalization) problem. what should be done here?

It's not i18n. i18n want mean internationalization of GUI in KDE.

It's about UTF-8 strings support for file naming (non ASCII char used in file names).

I remember to have fixed some stuff like this in current implementation, but not tested really.

To trying to reproduce, we need to use file-naming scheme from Andrzej and look if file are processed with any error.
