(Get the code!)
Sorry, but you did not read my comment properly. The reasons given might make sense technically, but not usability-wise. As I said, new users, coming from other OSs, with files from those and no experience to work around the problem are lost. Huess what a user will do if he cannot work with his old music etc., blame it on Qt or Windows, or rather KDE and Linux?
If Qt only cares about the technical dimensions, fair enough, but this is KDE's bugzilla and hence WONTFIX not an option for this issue, IMHO.#
As I read in the mails, there are ways around this. So would it be possible to detect that something does not work with the file, although it exists and tell the user so, instead of just telling him that the file he sees does not exist? Further, one could offer the user to rename the file and use another than the "normal" function for renaming, nothing fancy, i.e. no conversion of e.g. é to e, just making the file work.
