Description Charlie Zhang 2017-02-05 17:06:55 UTC

I am using Archlinux.
When I open a picture which contains Chinese charactor in the path(or filename), Gwenview show me a dialog said 'file does not exist'.
The chinese charactors it shows me appearanced as a '�'.
I have the right locale values and other application in kde works fine.

Does Dolphin show a preview of these files, if you enable image previews in Dolphin?

Yes, dolphin preview works fine.

Same problem as Bug 371816. Looks like we don't handle non-Latin characters very well.

I cannot reproduce this on 19.04.2 - I can successfully open a file with CJK characters in the path and/or filename. Help message also displays fine.
