Bug Description
Hi !
I use Ubuntu 12.04, with Unity
I appreciate really the dash global search tool. It would be nice if it could work with folders with accent in name.
Here are the steps to get the bug.
1 - edit and save a file in a folder with accent in name (I tried with a LibreOffice and with a full text file)
2 - open the dash
=> the file appears in the list of recent files
3 - click on the file
4 - nothing happens
To check that the bug comes from the accent in the folder's name :
1 - rename the folder without accent
2 - edit and the save the previous file
3 - open the dash
=> the file appears in the list of recent files
4 - click on the file
5 - the file is opened
Thanks.
