Description Alexander Skwar 2004-04-12 10:29:42 UTC 
Version:           3.2.1 (using KDE 3.2.1, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-7mdk

I created a directory named "foo # bar". When I go that directory in Konqueror, the directory name is shown as "foo %23 bar" in the address bar. This should not be.
Comment 1 John Tapsell 2004-04-14 14:04:19 UTC 
It should be, because  file://something#somethingelse   does not mean the folder "something#somethingelse" under the rfc for urls.  (I'm too lazy to look it up.)

Marking as wontfix - please reopen if you feel this is invalid.
Comment 2 Alexander Skwar 2004-04-14 20:35:54 UTC 
Reopening.
The way the directory name is presented is completely inconsistent with everything else. When you try to paste a directory name containing "%23" some place else (like, bash, OpenOffice.org, Mozilla......), it looks for "%23" and not for "#". Note that I'm talking about directory names, not file:// schema, for which you are surely correct. If what Konqueror displays are file:// URLs, then I'll file another bug, since special characters (like ' ' <space>) aren't converted. Instead of the expected %20, konqueror shows a ' '. Because of this, the behaviour is irritating - if these were file urls with special characters converted everywhere, a %23 for a # would be expected.

Fixed by DFaure a few days ago
Comment 4 Alexander Skwar 2005-03-05 16:22:26 UTC 
Not fixed: Reopening.

In Konqueror 3.3.91 (Beta1), going to a directory called "foo # bar" shows up in the adressbar as "foo %23 bar".
Comment 5 Maksim Orlovich 2005-03-05 16:30:30 UTC 
Yes, it is. Beta 1 is too old
