Description Edward H. Trager 2005-08-18 21:06:59 UTC

Using the "fish://" protocol in Konqueror to view directory contents on a remote
machine displays the remote machine's UTF-8 file names incorrectly as if the
encoding were ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8.

Note that I tested that local non-ASCII file names are displayed correctly in
Konqueror's file manager.  Only the remote non-ASCII UTF-8 file names are
displayed incorrectly.  Both local and remote machines have locale set to the US
English UTF-8 locale.

To reproduce the bug: Create some files or directories on a remote SuSE Linux
box using some non-ASCII UTF-8 characters.  Then try viewing the remote
directories/files using fish from Konqueror.

Unicode file name problems with Fish Protocol under Konqueror

Perhaps the "fish" protocol has no clue about the remote machine's locale and
encoding.  Be that as it may, networks of modern Linux machines should default
to UTF-8 and, therefore, should assume the default UTF-8 encoding for remote
filesystems in the event that other information is lacking ...

The fish kioslave has "make it work with charsets other than latin1" in its TODO. I 
suggest you add your votes to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105186 .

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:52:20 UTC

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
