Created attachment 174019 [details] screenshot SUMMARY In the file selector, the left pane uses a wrong encoding for filenames, resulting in folders with non-ASCII letters being mangled and greyed out. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a folder with non-ASCII letters, eg ~/Téléchargements (the French standard for Downloads) 2. Have this folder in the "left pane shortcuts" 3. Run kdenlive AppImage 4. Open a file OBSERVED RESULT The folder should be listed and selectable. EXPECTED RESULT The folder name is obviously displayed using a wrong character encoding and is greyed out. Note it appears correctly in the main pane. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-45-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1245 v5 @ 3.50GHz Memory: 31.2 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: Precision Tower 3620 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is likely not actually a bug in kdenlive but rather in a sub-component I cannot identify, but this is the only software (with the exception of ShotCut appimage) displaying this behaviour. Other Qt apps have no problem.
