Comment 1 for bug 1958175

Hello Louis-Philippe,

this might get complicated. I have to find the exact place where this breaks, but I fear it wont be easily fixable as for example Poppler's Qt frontend accepts paths as QString [1] which are assumed to be valid Unicode AFAIU [2] whereas path not not necessarily and as the original reporter explained, the file name is invalid UTF-8 and not representable as Unicode text except for using a replacement character.

This also seems rather wide spread in the Qt ecosystem: I cannot open that file with Okteta either. Better yet, I cannot even use Dolphin to rename/delete the file. This does not seem surprising insofar Qt itself seems to handle paths as QString almost everywhere.

Regards,
Adam
