filenames issues

Postby msdobrescu » Jul 30th, '11, 22:15

Hello,

I have downloaded some site using wget.
It created some names that do not look like the originals:

Nautilus shows:
Тек%D1%81%D1%82ов%D1%8Bи�%86 док%D1%83мен%D1%82.txt (invalid encoding)

Correct is (taken from Firefox directory listing):
Тек%D1%81%D1%82ов%D1%8Bй док%D1%83мен%D1%82.txt

It is right, it is invalid encoding.

I can't move, rename or delete them under my default environment, which is KDE.

mc can, nautilus can.

How should I fix this kind of issues under KDE?

Thanks,
Mike

You should maybe have used wget with --local-encoding= or --remote-encoding= options.
Why can't you fix the problem with MC or Nautilus under KDE?

Nautilus or MC can.
KDE tools can't.

Well, if you want to fix that, make a bugreport at https://bugs.kde.org/

Yes, you already wrote that, but where is the problem? Why don't you use MC in KDE? Open a konsole window in KDE and type 'mc'.
I would not use nautilus in a KDE system, it needs to many gnome dependencies to install.

If he has already Nautilus installed (as from the description), he can also use it under KDE, no?

I've already installed it as I use several GTK based applications (not necessarily distributed with Gnome - EasyTag, FireFox...).
I've observed that GTK handles pretty well this issue.
I don't see why KDE doesn't.
I am not sure if KDE is the issue at all..

Well, if an ncurses program (MC) gets it right, and an GTK program gets it right (Nautilus) then either it's perhaps a QT oder KDE problem.
But you'll never find out if you only ask yourself. What about the bugreport?

Somehow i don't get the reason of this thread.

IMO it is not an issue of GTK or QT nor an issue of Gnome or KDE. It is an issue of the various applications. One can handle such filenames, others can't. May be konqueror can or krusader or any other KDE filemanager.

To me it's quite simple - I use the tool which can do it best (IMO), no matter whether it is GTK or QT or whatever. I'm focused on function, form follows only 2nd in the priority order.

Same here.

krusader doesn't.
So it's a bug...
I'll file one to see what happens.
I don't like to use much apps for the same thing.
Sorry to bother you.

You will probably have to file it in KDE bugzilla as it seems to be an upstream issue.

I don't like to use much apps for the same thing.

That's why I have been using mc for longer than a decade now, haven't found anything yet it could not do in file management. :)

True, I can't imagine linux without mc.
There was a time when Mandriva removed it from it's default distro.
I was in kernel panic mode then.
