Description Jonathan 2011-08-25 19:54:16 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Kate version 3.4.5 (wasn't in list)

I used multi-select to open three files, each with a hash character (#) in their names. Kate displayed three error messages, one for each, stating that it could not open the file. The names of the files had been mangled in the error message, replacing the last space (just before the #) with "%20".

The files were listed in the list of open documents with the incorrect names and no contents.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create two (or more) text files that contain the character sequence " #". Mine were named "CPU Pinning Dump #1", "CPU Pinning Dump #2", and "CPU Pinning Dump #3". I have not tested with other file names.
2) Start Kate.
3) Bring up the Open dialog.
4) Drag a selection box around the files you created in step 1.
5) Click the Open button.

Actual Results:  
An error message is displayed for each file I chose to open, with text like this:

-----
The file /home/user/Documents/Folder/CPU Pinning Dump%20#2 could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it.

Check if you have read access to this file.
-----

Opening any of the files individually works fine.

Expected Results:  
The three files should have opened without issue.

I can reproduce it, but I don't see, that it is  kate bug, all we do is:

KEncodingFileDialog::Result r = KEncodingFileDialog::getOpenUrlsAndEncoding(
                                      KateDocManager::self()->editor()->defaultEncoding(),
                                      cv->document()->url().url(),
                                      QString(), m_mainWindow, i18n("Open File"));
.....

    for (KUrl::List::Iterator i = r.URLs.begin(); i != r.URLs.end(); ++i)
      lastID = openUrl( *i, r.encoding, false, false, docInfo);

No special handling for the first item or the other items in the list.
I guess it is a kdelibs problem
