[opensuse] Question About Non-Standard Character
Hi, Under openSUSE 13.1 x64 with KDE 4.13, I was attempting to move a file in Dolphin with a non-standard character to trash. I did some tests, and I either get this message: "The file or folder /home/xxx/Its does not exist." or it does move it to trash, yet when viewing the trash (from the places panel), the file isn't there. When looking in ~/.local/share/Trash/ the file shows up here; I can't remember if it went into "files" or "info". Now when trying to reproduce the problem, I only get the error message. I looked to see what character this with KCharSelect and found nothing, so I included a picture at the link below: http://paste.opensuse.org/66554404 Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I think than sometime character convresion from utf8 (among other reasons) may give "nul" characters in a file name and linux do not like it. usually "rm *.x" with jokers allow to remove them but I still get some errors on old archives jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If the file is somewhere, you can use this trick to find the actual char used in the listing:

Thus we can see that the 'ñ' is represented by the two byte sequence 'c3 b1' in hex. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
