Bug ID: 421290 Summary: Filename: double quote sign (") used in filename is not kept as-is in resulting filename on disk Product: kate Version: 19.12.3 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: gnu4e...@netc.eu Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Handling of double quote signs in filenames has never been satisfying with Kate, but version 19.x might even be worst than before. * CASE 1: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new file with Kate. 2. Save it under name: my "blah" file.txt OBSERVED RESULT Saved file is named: blah EXPECTED RESULT Saved file should be named on disk: my "blah" file.txt * CASE 2: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new file with Kate. 2. Click on Save button 3. Name file (but don't save yet!): my "blah" file.txt 4. Enter some subdirectory from current location -> filename is automatically renamed as: my %22blah%22 file.txt (doesn't sound bad... but wait ^^) 5. Go up one level (to the initial location) -> filename is automatically renamed as: my %2522blah%2522 file.txt 6. Enter some subdirectory again -> filename is automatically renamed as: my %252522blah%252522 file.txt 7. Etc.? OBSERVED RESULT 1. Filename changes each time a directory is entered or exited. 2. If you finally click "Save", the resulting filename is actually what it reads, for e.g.: my %252522blah%252522 file.txt EXPECTED RESULT 1. Filename should not change each time a directory is entered or exited. 2. Saved file should be named on disk: my "bla" file.txt SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My Kate encoding: Unicode (UTF-8) My Plasma regional setting: French -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
