Description Benito van der Zander 2017-10-29 23:58:55 UTC 
When a file has unusual bytes in its name, Dolphin cannot delete it.

I am not sure which bytes are causing the trouble, but after creating 254 files for every byte in the 0x01 to 0xff range, I could neither delete them nor the parent folder.

To reproduce it, you can clone the repo at https://github.com/benibela/nasty-files and then you cannot delete it.
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2017-10-30 00:13:03 UTC 
If you put random raw bytes 0x80-0xFF in a filename, you are creating illegal UTF-8 encoded filenames. Those are not supported by the QString-based file API.
