Bug ID: 428115
Summary: k3b silently drops files whose names contain special
characters when adding to project
Product: k3b
Version: 19.04
Platform: Mageia RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Data Project
Assignee: k...@kde.org
Reporter: arrom...@gmx.com
CC: mich...@jabster.pl, tr...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
k3b silently drops files whose names contain special characters when adding to
project
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a directory full of files to a data project. The directory contains a
file with \367 (M-q) in the filename.
2. Check and see which files k3b actually added to the project by expanding the
directory in the left part of the data tab.
OBSERVED RESULT
The file was not added.
EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be added, or at least an error should be produced.
At this point I have no idea how much data I have already lost because of this
behavior. I only discovered that this was happening because of a fluke.
If you try adding only the individual file, k3b will at least produce an error
saying that it can't find the file, although it really should be able to.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System) -- I am not using a full desktop environment, only
fvwm2, so no About System. This bug is not related to a graphical environment
anyway.
May also be related to bug #282390.
