on my opensuse 13.1 with dolphin and kde 4.11.3 if you select (select files do not select filenames) one or more files where the filename contains the character "#" (for example try1#) and paste for example in kwrite or libreoffice calc or paste special as unformatted text in libreoffice writer the filename will result as the character "#" substituted with %23 (for example from try1# to try1%23). manythanx ciao pier Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.select (select files do not select filenames) one or more files 2.copy 3.paste in kwrite Actual Results: the character "#" is substituted with %23 (for example from try1# to try1%23) Expected Results: the character "#" is pasted as is
Thanks for the bug report. This is not a Dolphin issue - the same thing happens when you copy files from FolderView. KUrl::List::populateMimeData() is responsible for initializing the QMimeData object that is used to transport data between applications via drag&drop or copy&paste. There might be a reason why escaping special characters in a URL makes sense, but I'll reassign the report. I'll adjust the severity to a more appropriate level though.
..sorry for the inappropriate severity level, but, I did thought that copying filenames in a wrong way was really a major feature brakes.... :-)
