Bug 91635

"?" in filenames are not to be expected, I think, because the shell allows "?" to be used as regexp for any letter in a filename (like in "ls files.?pp"). "?" are also used for unknown char codes in a filename (happens when mounting filesystems with the wrong charset). Perhaps the file was created on a filesystem with iso-xxxx-15 but mounted with utf8 or viceversa?

IIRC I learned in school that you can use ANY character for any filename in a UNIX operating system. Also every application works with "?" but not KHexedit. Should be fixed. Really. It is in deed a valid character for a filename. The shell is just another application who has it's own rules. But you can also open a file in the shell with this command:

type my\ filename\ has\ a\ \? \inside.txt

or

type 'my filename has a ? inside.txt'

If the shell can handle this, KHexedit should handle it also without any probs ;-)

CVS commit by kossebau: 

Backport from HEAD:
files with "?" and else in the filename can now be opened also when given as
app parameters
