Description arne anka 2016-07-18 09:49:58 UTC

if a file name contains umlauts, okular is unable to open that file when given as parameter (cli or "open with" from Thunderbird)

okular /tmp/äöü.pdf

produces the attached error, as does opening from Thunderbird.
kate or gwenview do not show the issue.


Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 100148 [details]
error

that's what appears when attempting

okular /tmp/äöü.pdf

note the distorted umlauts

Possibly related to Bug 356359? (Does not seem to be an exact duplicate as in that bug opening from the commandline works)

Comment 3 Jonathan Verner 2016-07-18 13:35:03 UTC

P.S. It works for me (Kubuntu 14.04, Qt: 4.8.6, KDE Development Platform: 4.14.13, Okular: 0.20.3)

Comment 4 Justin Zobel 2020-11-08 06:42:19 UTC

Thanks for the report Arne.

I am unable to reproduce this on okular from git master.

Can you please confirm if this issue is now resolved for you or if it needs further investigation, thanks.
