Description Arne Schmitz 2009-04-08 20:50:28 UTC 
Version:           1.2.1 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) "release 111", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.19-3.2-pae

What I did:

I have a couple of legacy files, whose filenames are still in ios-8859-1 encoding. They contain umlauts such as ä (0xE4), which are displayed as <?> in Dolphin. I tried to rename the files with Dolphin by pressing F2 and correcting the ä to the new encoding (UTF-8) on my system.

What I expected:

I expected Dolphin to silently rename the file.

What I got instead:

Dolphin complained: "File 'foo�' not found, where '�' is instead of the 'ä'. I guess there is an additional encoding process here, which fails.

I have to add: renaming with mv in bash works fine.
