           Summary: digikam and encoding errors in flickr export and mail
                    attachments
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: anders alweb dk


Version:           0.9.3 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-16-generic

Exporting to flickr, if I elect to use the application tags and they contain danish letters æøå, they are misencoded when arriving at the flickr pages.

I suspect that digikam exports in the local encoding, in my case utf8, but should either convert to http standard (iso8859-1) or set an encoding header, if that is supported by flickr.

Sending images using Image->email, digikam attaches a file with comments, which also contains misencoded text in my case. Again, the danish characters æøå reveals the problem.
