The system is Ubuntu Vivid, so I doubt there are may more modern options. The LOCALE is set for en_US.UTF-8. That includes Ș. I can type Ș anywhere, including Terminal and Krusader, and it always worked. I am confused now. Are my settings wrong, or is this a bug? Please let me know if there is any missing information.
It's clear, it's not a bug. source code use QString container everywhere which is UF8 based. Database use UTF8 to store string. It's not a digiKam bug sure... My system is Linux Mageia5. There is nothing special about characters encoding settings. Gilles Caulier
