Bug ID: 525774
Summary: digikam has trouble with the % character in folder
names
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 9.1.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Albums
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
For a long time (up to Leap 15.6) I kept my albums under
"/home/jct/_Work/TTBs/Pix" and all was well.
Now (Leap 16.0) the albums are under "/home/jct/%Work/TTBs/Pix", i.e. with a
percent character instead of an underscore. (Long story to do with how Dolphin
sorts things.)
Unfortunately this causes a problem for digikam 9.1.0, as described below.
I think percent is legal in Linux folder names, so I think digikam should
honour it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On the filesystem, have a folder such as "/home/jct/%Work/TTBs/Pix", note
the percent character there.
2. Point digikam at this as a root folder.
3. In digikam, create a new folder, e.g. "202x" under Pix.
OBSERVED RESULT
Digikam creates the spurious folder "/home/jct/%25Work/TTBs/Pix/202x/" on the
filesystem, i.e. with %25 not just %.
EXPECTED RESULT
Digikam ought (?) to create the folder "/home/jct/%Work/TTBs/Pix/202x/" on the
filesystem.
