Description René 2024-02-23 11:51:31 UTC

SUMMARY
I discovered a file of unknown origin with the weird name ��� in my home folder. When I tried to delete it (permanently) the error message was shown as in summary. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole and create the weird file name with  'touch ''$'\372\365\311\003'
2. Open Dolphin and attempt to delete the file 

OBSERVED RESULT
Error message as in Summary and file not deleted.

EXPECTED RESULT
File deleted like usual

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux 12
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Work around is to go to Konsole where you will discover the weird name's true spelling with 'ls' allowing you to delete it with 'rm'

Is this the problem of not being able to handle file names that are not valid UTF-8, bug 165044?

Comment 2 René 2024-02-25 13:27:03 UTC

Yes, it looks like a regression of that bug. I cannot rename nor delete the filename like I see in the various comments before the fix came out.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 165044 ***

Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2024-03-01 18:38:11 UTC

Is it a regression or was the LegacyCodec removed intentionally from kio5?
