When trying to delete a file whose name contains Chinese characters, Dolphin says this file or directory does not exist. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use dolphin 4.14.2 under plasma 5 2. Create a new text file with the following name: 中文.txt 3. Select your newly created file, and move it to trash with the contextual menu (or with del from your keyboard). Actual Results: A window appears, with the following message: "The file or folder /home/user/path/中文.txt does not exist." Expected Results: The file should be able to be moved to the bin. It may not be a dolphin bug by itself, but maybe plasma 5 does not set a UTF-8 locale by default? There is nothing related to UTF-8 in the Regional settings, which are set as following: Region: United Kingdom - UK English (en_GB) I've set it to Major, because it is simply broken for anyone in Asia potentially, and it does not allow one to delete files with dolphin.
Thanks for the bug report. The KIO framework is responsible for deleting files, so I'll reassign. I don't know if the problem really is in KIO or somewhere else though.
I have the same problem but with french UTF8 and fish as sftp client... Is there any workaround ? Regards
I can no longer reproduce the bug when following the steps from Jiehong with Dolphin 17.12.2. I guess that this is related to #344998. Both can now be closed, as the cause was most likely a problem in the Qt5 transition which is now completed.
