            Bug ID: 349689
           Summary: digikam cannot display images if directory contains an
                    umlaut (e.g. ü)
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums View
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

When you open a digikam album from a directory that contains an umlaut in its
name the images are not shown, just some placeholders.

If you rename the folder (ü -> ue) the images are shown correctly.

It happens in album preview and if you open one single image.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a directory containing an umlaut in the name
2.
3.

--- Comment #1 from Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> ---
I tried under Linux and OSX, and this problem is not reproducible.

Perhaps there is a LOCALE settings adjustment to do in OS account ?

album name (or path) is recored in DB as UTF8 string. So typically, this must
properly supported. In source code, we use QString which is fully UTF8
complaint.

Q : did you created a digiKam DB from scratch or used an older one through a
digiKam update ?

It had to do with my old digikam.db file. I've renamed it and started digikam
and now all the images are shown.
