Description John van Spaandonk 2021-11-08 10:38:39 UTC 
SUMMARY
I press the windows key to open the search dialog and then type the first part of an (Openoffice spreadsheet) document name. The document is found and started correctly, but there are many error messages in my syslog. 
It looks like KDE tries to read the full document because it mistakenly thinks that is is a configuration file??

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. See above
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
kconfigini tries to read the complete .ods XML document. This does not look good (I replaced the file name by xxx)
I get many lines like this:
Nov 08 11:11:50 Big-PC plasmashell[1710]: kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /media/nas_data/xxx.ods, line 5: " "Invalid escape sequence \"\\^\"."
Nov 08 11:11:50 Big-PC plasmashell[1710]: kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /media/nas_data/xxx.ods, line 5: " "Invalid escape sequence \"\\m\"."
Nov 08 11:11:50 Big-PC plasmashell[1710]: kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /media/nas_data/xxx.ods, line 5: " "Invalid escape sequence \"\\À\"."

EXPECTED RESULT
No error messages.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Alexander Lohnau 2021-11-08 11:39:26 UTC 
Weird, I have created a new ods file, opened it from dolphin and it shows up without any warnings in the recent documents runner.

Which plugin shows the result for the file? (Not sure if it is desktop search or recent documents -  it could be both ;))

To be honest I have no idea.
I just press the windows key, type the first few letters of the document 
until it appears at the top of the list and then press enter.
Just tried it again with the same result.

The last few lines in the log are these, perhaps that can provide a hint.

Comment 3 Isaac Cohen 2021-11-20 23:08:37 UTC 
I can replicate this. Here are the steps:

1. Open a PDF file the ordinary way, by double clicking it in Dolphin.
2. Click the application launcher and enter the name of the PDF in the search box
3. The launcher will find the PDF (as a recently opened document)
4. Select the document from the list and click to open it
5. The document will open after a short delay (depending on the size of the document - for my Calculus textbook it's about 4-5 seconds)
6. Looking in .xsession-errors you will see a bunch of lines that look like this:
kf.config.core: "KConfigIni: In file /home/isaac/James Stewart - Calculus_ Early Transcendentals 8th Edition. 8.pdf, line 846558: " Invalid entry (missing '=')

Comment 4 Isaac Cohen 2021-11-20 23:13:56 UTC 
Interestingly this only happens (for me) when I try to open the document using the application launcher. It doesn't happen for krunner.
