            Bug ID: 298825
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kde-windows at kde.org
           Summary: okular (at least) does not handle filenames not from
                    Windows-1252
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: MS Windows
          Reporter: arielb1 at mail.tau.ac.il
          Hardware: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde-windows

Okular for Windows does not work when the path contains non-1252 characters
(Okular for Linux works fine in this case). This is problematic for me because
I use okular as my primary pdf viewer (it starts up like a hundred times faster
then adobe) and I want to use Hebrew directory and file names.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download KDE on Windows (it works fine on linux) and a PDF (any pdf, say
http://cs.tau.ac.il/~tromer/papers/tromer-phd.pdf).
2. Rename/Put the PDF in a directory so that its path contains characters not
in the Windows-1252 character set (say תזה.pdf, 日本語.pdf, or δαίμων.pdf but not
“d‡æmon”.pdf)
3. Open the file in Okular via File->Open or Command Line
Actual Results:  
Error (Cloud not open file:///<path-to-problem-file>) when the name is תזה.pdf,
日本語.pdf, or δαίμων.pdf but okular works fine when name is thesis.pdf or
“d‡æmon”.pdf (even with "smart" quotes).


Expected Results:  
The PDF should load fine (as when it's named thesis.pdf)

Windows XP Service Pack 3

Okular
Version 0.11.2
Using KDE Development Platform 4.5.4 (KDE 4.5.4)
