Bug ID: 403040 Summary: '$'\n'' chars not shown in file name Product: frameworks-kio Version: 5.53.0 Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: fa...@kde.org Reporter: germano.massu...@gmail.com CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY A file that is called A complete guide to Linux'$'\n''process scheduling.pdf in Plasma Dolphin is shown as A complete guide to Linuxprocess scheduling.pdf In other applications file picker windows, it is shown as A complete guide to Linux but if you pass the mouse pointer on the file, you get the following hint (yes it's made of two lines) A complete guide to Linux process scheduling.pdf Here the steps I followed, that leaded me to this point I found out that because nextcloud client I was reading in Okular the file https://tampub.uta.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/96864/GRADU-1428493916.pdf which title on first page is A complete guide to Linux process scheduling when I selected and copied the title on first page in Okular, then selected "Save file" and pasted the title as file name. Immediately I got an unknown error from Nextcloud client, so I started investigating why this file could not get synchronized. I noticed that there was a missing space between the words "Linux" and "process", and wondering if the copy paste from a PDF could have introduced weird chars, I runned # ls /foo_dir and found out that the real filename was A complete guide to Linux'$'\n''process scheduling.pdf According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 ======= Allowed characters in filenames All bytes except NUL ('\0') and '/' and the special file names "." and ".." which are not forbidden but are always used for a respective special purpose. ======= so '$'\n'' is a string for a filename, and I think it should be displayed -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
