Description Marcel Meckel 2005-12-05 06:29:09 UTC
Having a file with german umlauts in either a part of the path or the filename 
leads to "file not found" in file open dialog in openoffice. Openoffice url-
encodes all special characters and is then looking these converted filenames up 
in the filesystem leading to a "file does not exist".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # echo 123 > /tmp/foo
Comment 1 Marcel Meckel 2005-12-05 06:29:09 UTC
Having a file with german umlauts in either a part of the path or the filename 
leads to "file not found" in file open dialog in openoffice. Openoffice url-
encodes all special characters and is then looking these converted filenames up 
in the filesystem leading to a "file does not exist".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # echo 123 > /tmp/fooübar.txt

2. Open /tmp/fooübar.txt in OpenOffice 2.0.0

3. Error "/tmp/foo%FCbar.txt does not exist"

When passing the filename as argument via command line:

# oowriter2 /tmp/fooübar.txt

OpenOffice opens the document without errors.



Openoffice was compiled with kde USE-flag. Maybe that's the problematic part, 
cause it's the KDE "file open" dialog.
