Description Max Schettler 2016-03-02 12:32:26 UTC 
Dolphin appears not to be able to open files that are created on Windows and contain umlauts (e.g. ä, ö, ü). The files will be displayed with a question mark symbol in the filename, but opening them creates an error message that the folder/file does not exist.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file with an umlaut:
touch test-file-$'\374'
2. Open dolphin, navigate to the directory containing the test-file
3. Open the file

Actual Results:  
Error message:
"Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder /path/test-file-� does not exist."

Expected Results:  
Dolphin opens the file.

Confirmed with Dolphin 17.12.3, but this could also be a KIO bug as Dolphin itself does not really deal with the opening of the file.
