Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-07-12 12:09:37 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Consider such filename
PhotoSketch: A Photo-Centric 3D Modeling Tool.avi

It is a valid unix filename, however I am unable to play such video in Kaffeine when Kaffeine is launched from command line

  Also I could have a text file named
MyDoc: report.txt

  and Kate refuses to open it with similar error. I think it is not fault of individual app, but KDE itself.

Works fine here. Are you forgetting to escape the special characters? What error do you get?
Comment 2 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-07-13 22:45:14 UTC 
Of course I am not forgetting about escaping, Konsole does it for me (bash excatly).

Errors vary -- they depend of the app. Kaffeine for example shows:

"The specified file or url was not found. Please check it. (hashing:%20Searching,%20Sketching.avi)"

(oh, and a crash on exit also :-) ). It was executed like this:
kaffeine Hashing\:\ Searching\,\ Sketching.avi

It is fully playable if I run kaffeine and then open this file.
