Bug ID: 440142
Summary: Can't import clips with non-BMP characters in filename
Product: kdenlive
Version: 21.04.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Video Display & Export
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: pe...@elementw.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Clips with filenames containing characters outside the Unicode BMP, most
commonly Emoji, cannot be imported.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Name an example video file "🙃 test.<extension>"
2. Drag & drop it to the Project Bin, or right click and import it, or even
import the whole folder it is in
OBSERVED RESULT
"Cannot open file /path/to/🙃 test.<extension>"
EXPECTED RESULT
File being imported.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Plasma 5.22.3
KF 5.83.0
Qt 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested on an XFS filesystem. Other filesystems with Unicode support most likely
exhibit the same issue.
Workaround is to simply remove non-BMP characters from filename, but it is
unreasonable to expect the average user to know about this.
