Description Siddhartha 2015-07-04 16:30:51 UTC 
Dolphins does not handle filenames with some weird characters like $'\340'.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. touch "test"$'\340'".file" from command line
2. Try to delete the file using dolphin

Actual Results:  
Dolphin fails with error message "Could not delete".

Expected Results:  
Dolphin should properly escape the filename and delete it.
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2015-07-04 21:47:03 UTC 
That's not a valid UTF-8 character, so Qt cannot handle it.
