k3b burns silent track w/ correct length and CD-Text when unusual characters are present in path to files: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create FLAC file: "/home/user/music/░ ▒ ▓ █/░ ▒ ▓ █.flac" 2. add file created in 1) to a new Audio-CD project in k3b 3. burn CD note: other formats than FLAC might produce the same result, I only tried FLAC. also other characters probably lead to silent tracks as well, haven't tested others though. When you enable normalization of audio and in doing so disable on-the-fly-burning, the created temporary .wav-files are also silent. OBSERVED RESULT A silent track is burned to the CD, CD-Text data is correct, length correlates with length of original FLAC file. EXPECTED RESULT A track containing the to-be-burned audio should have been burned. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: debian-testing / n/A (using cinnamon) KDE Plasma Version: n/A KDE Frameworks Version: n/A Qt Version: 5.14.2-2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I bought a digital copy of the Album "░ ▒ ▓ █" by "KEYGEN CHURCH", so I do have a somewhat good reason to have such characters present in the path to the files.
