Bug ID: 488567
Summary: KDE Connect for Android fails to receive shared file
whose names contain special characters
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Unspecified
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: hexclo...@outlook.com
CC: andrew.g.r.hol...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The KDE connect Android app cannot receive files whose name contain some
special characters prohibited by the Android system, e.g. a colon :.
I think the App should either sanitize the file name automatically, e.g.
replace the : with _, or hint about the possible reason for the failure.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On the PC, create some file whose name contain a colon, e.g.
"log_20240616_14:59:45.txt"
2. Use KDE Connect to share the file to an Android phone
OBSERVED RESULT
Android app shows "Failed to receive file"
EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be received and stored, possibly under a sanitized name
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0
Qt Version: 6.7.1
