This is from upstream bug-report: ``We will no longer support broken encodings in KDE. We have had transition code for several years (at least since 2003) and I think 5 years is enough time for people to finish transitioning to UTF-8 environments.
This bug is about broken-encoded files. *Properly* encoded filenames should be working and if they aren't, please open a new bug report on the subject. You will hate me for this, but this bug is a WONTFIX. 5 years is enough time. If in 5 years you haven't renamed all your files, you should use the terminal to do it. More info on why this is close to impossible to implement: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=122025063320264&w=2 Do *not* reopen the bug.'' --------- I think their reasons for not supporting broken encodings are valid. However, I think that at least they should provide a tool for fixing the broken encodings. E.g. allowing the user to rename the files to a correct encoding. -- Cannot delete file with bad filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
