Created attachment 144205 [details] Screenshots illustrating the bug reported SUMMARY Icon and image preview are broken for albums on a nfs share containing special characters as German umlauts (e.g. ä, ü). See screenshots in the attachment. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In a network share collection (NFS mount), I create an album with the name Test_ä or Test_ü 2. I add some pictures/movies to new album using drag-and-drop from MacOS Finder to digikam (not relevant how this is done though) 3. In digikam's album view, I check the icon area and the image preview area for the added pictures/movies OBSERVED RESULT The green placeholder icons are show for the added images/movies only and in the preview area it says "Failed to load image" EXPECTED RESULT Regular icons and an image preview reflecting the added pictures/movies content are shown SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS digikam version 7.3.0 CPU cores: 8 DNG SDK: 1.5.1 Eigen: 3.3.9 ExifTool: 12.34 Exiv2 supports Base Media: Yes Exiv2 supports XMP metadata: Yes HEIF encoding support: Yes ImageMagick codecs: 6.9.11 KF5: 5.80.0 LensFun: 0.3.95-0 LibCImg: 130 LibJPEG: 80 LibJasper: 2.0.14 LibLCMS: 2120 LibLqr support: No LibPGF: 7.21.07 LibPNG: 1.6.37 LibRaw: 0.21.0 LibTIFF: 4.2.0 Marble: 0.27.20 Parallelized demosaicing: Yes Qt: 5.15.2 Qt WebEngine support: Yes Rajce support: Yes VKontakte support: No XMP SDK: 5.6.0 AkonadiContact support: No Baloo support: No Calendar support: Yes DBus support: No Database backend: QSQLITE HTML Gallery support: Yes LibAVCodec: 58.91.100 LibAVFormat: 58.45.100 LibAVUtil: 56.51.100 LibGphoto2: 2.5.27 LibOpenCV: 4.5.1 LibQtAV: 1.13.0 Media player support: Yes Panorama support: Yes ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Moving the folder Test_ä to a local collection makes the issue disappear; moving it back to the nfs share als brings the issue back - Renaming the folder to not contain the umlaut character solves the problem; when the umlaut is added again, the issue is also back - mount statement used for the nfs share is: nas:/photo on /Volumes/photo (nfs, nodev, nosuid, mounted by stefan) - Checking the mounted nfs share within a console shows regular file names incl. special characters
Please give us the debug log from the terminal when the thumbnails are updated with F5 and the attempt to open the preview. Don't forget to set the Qt Debug environment variable, it's described here for MacOS: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Maik
I think the mount option "nfc" is missing Look here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/255063/nfs-share-from-linux-with-accented-and-non-ascii-characters-files-work-in-term https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3298804?answerId=21199204022#21199204022 Maik
Hi Maik That was it - the nfc option does the trick on nfs. It seems though, that I need to migrate folders with special characters that they work in digikam and other programs. Switching to smb seems to be easier. Thanks' a lot for your fast reply! Regards, Stefan
