Comment 1 Cyrill Helg 2006-07-05 13:20:43 UTC
When I save a file with the filename öäü.odt for example with openoffice (built with kde useflag for kde save dialog) the filename results in:

ls:
%F6%E4%FC.odt

Something is broken between the exchange of the original OpenOffice Filename and the KDE-dialog. By the way this seems to work on the ubuntu version of OpenOffice (using the KDD dialog too).

We had such things on and off, unfortunately I can't reproduce it. Are you using utf-8?
Comment 4 Cyrill Helg 2006-07-07 04:32:26 UTC
No I am not using utf.

That could be the problem... I've reported this stuff to upstream once and the dev in charge for the kde stuff, told me, that people really should use utf-8 as most distros do, so he doesn't care too much...

I had the same problem. After reading this yesterday I changed my system to using utf-8. Now this problem is gone away.

Does this problem also happen with openoffice-bin? If yes you might add a comment on
