Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: soundkonverter
soundKonverter does not properly handle files with special characters
(at least # and ?, probably others) in their filenames. It truncates
the files, resulting in 0-length files for FLAC and 1.3 kB files for
MP3. The names of these files cuts off just before the first special
character.
For example, when transcoding from FLAC to MP3, "Dave Matthews Band -
#34.flac" becomes a 1.3 kB file called "Dave Matthews Band - "
containing just an ID3 tag. If transcoding from FLAC to FLAC, it would
have the same name munging but the output file would be 0 bytes.
I have observed this with specifically the # and ? symbol, but I suspect
it would have a similar effect for other "special" characters. I am
running a Gutsy Gibbon Beta system, completely updated. My
soundKonverter version is 0.3.6-0ubuntu1. I'm using flac/metaflac for
FLAC en/decoding and lame/mp3gain for MP3 en/decoding.
