Version: 1.2.81.svn1042966-2.2 (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs If you enter a song in Kaudiocreator with / in the name, then it tries to write the wav file to disk with a / in the name. This results in an error and it fails to rip that song. For example, Could not write to /tmp/kde-jmdavis/6_V6-Just You Can Make Me High / 坂本昌行、岡田准一_8tNC2w.wav.part. Telling Kaudiocreator to replace / with another character or characters has the same result. Kaudiocreator for KDE 3.5 replaced / with %2f automatically. Ideally, the KDE 4 version would do the same. Barring that, however, it should at least be able to allow you to get it to replace / with another character.
I would point out that in KDE 3.5 the replacement of / with %2f only happened in the file name. It was still / in the tag.
Created attachment 49341 [details] Patch to escape slashes in artist names and track names I've encountered the same problem, and it annoyed me enough to fix it. This patch should solve it.
please try the fix in svn (extragear/multimedia)
It does appear to be fixed, though either I didn't build it quite correctly or there are other major changes going on that aren't completed yet, since almost none of the menus had anything in them and there was no rip button (I had to set the shortcut to get it rip), but I assume that all that was either because I didn't build it right or because of other work being done. In any case, this bug does appear to be fixed. The files with / in their name rip just fine and end up with %2f in their name instead of /, which is the behavior from the KDE 3 version. So, that is definitely looking good.
Actually, it looks like the fix isn't quite right. KAudiocreator now successfully rips songs with / in the name and puts %2f in its place in the file name. However, it also puts %2f in the tags, which it shouldn't do. / should still be / in the tags.
Created attachment 84317 [details] Patch to remove %2f from tags I realize this is an old bug, but I do have a patch that resolve the remaining issue where the %2f appears in the tags. All replacements (user defined regex, FAT32, / if not done elsewhere) are done for the filename only and the tags are all left unchanged.
