an irrelevant PDF file

SUMMARY

The weirdest thing I've seen. When a PDF is opened, starting with '#' in its
name, it reliably opens an unrelated image file in the same folder instead. If
the image file is removed, it will open the PDF normally. The effect is
independent of the image file and the PDF content. You can put any JPEG in the
same folder and see.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rename PDF to something which starts with '#'
2. put an image in the same folder (the name really doesn't matter, not even
the file extension). Note: the folder can be totally empty.
3. Open the PDF

OBSERVED RESULT

The image is shown. The file size is depicted as 0 bytes.

EXPECTED RESULT

Shows the actual PDF file and correct meta data.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 11 Pro, Build 10.0.26100
Okular Version: 23.08.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Not tested under Linux. Affects PDF files, but not for example when opening
image files.
