Hi Máximo,

I tried to reproduce the described issue with current Debian
sid/unstable, but was unable to do so.
What I did:

1) create some PDF file (using LibreOffice) under the path you mentioned

$ ls -l
/home/user00/Documents/Books/Física/Estadisticas/Fundamentals_of_Statistical_And_Thermal_Physics-F_Reif.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 user00 user00 7083 Jul 18 11:33 
/home/user00/Documents/Books/Física/Estadisticas/Fundamentals_of_Statistical_And_Thermal_Physics-F_Reif.pdf

2) Open the directory in Dolphin (KDE's file manager)
3) Open the file using right click in the file manager -> "Open with" ->
"Okular"

For me, the file opened file and was displayed in Okular as expected.

I am not sure whether the steps I took are exactly the same ones that
you took.
Can you possibly give some more information about that?

Are you also using Dolphin (KDE's file manager) or possibly another file
manager?

Regards,
Michael

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358289 seems to be a corresponding
upstream bug.

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
	- create a folder in Dolphin that contains accents (e.g. from czech alphabet), place a pdf inside and open the file, Okular opens complaining that the file cannot be found, the reference to the file has wrongly encoded characters with accents. When you go to File->Open in Okular straight away, you can see the PDF file in the folder and the path to the folder has wrongly encoded accent characters.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	- PDF files that are in a path that contains accents cannot be opened directly by clicking on them in Dolphin
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	- The file did not open/
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	- the file was supposed to be opened.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

Hi Leoš,

thanks for reporting that you also have this issue.

The above output indicates that something seems to be wrong with your
locale settings.

Can you please post the output of the command "locale"?

Does the problem go away if the respective locales are generated?
You can have them generated by running the command "dpkg-reconfigure"
(with root privileges) and selecting the corresponding locales. (The
above output suggests that those are "cs_CZ.UTF-8" and "en_US.UTF-8" in
your case.)


Regards,
  Michael

 I have more details. In my case, I had in System settings -> Regional settings -> Formats:
 Region: United States - American English (en_US)
 Detailed settings enabled and time format set to Czech (cs_CZ). With this particular settings I can reproduce the problem plus I get the errors with locale. Once I switch this settings to "No change" are logout and log back in, Okular opens pdf files in a path with accents without a problem. I have confirmed it twice.
 
The locale outputs with the time set to "No change":
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 LANGUAGE=
 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
 LC_ALL=

  and this is the output of locale when I change time format to czech (with region en_US):
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Thanks for the additional information. As far as I understand it so far,
this is not really an Okular problem, but one of your locale settings.

Can you please try the following:

* open a terminal
* run the following command there: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales"
* select "cs_CZ.UTF-8" and confirm so that the respective locale is
generated

(There may be ways to generate the locales using the graphical user
interface instead, but that depends on the specific desktop environment
in use. Please let me know in case the above steps are not clear enough.)

Regards,
  Michael

I can confirm that this helped resolve the issue. Thank you very much!

You're welcome. Thanks for the confirmation that this solved the issue!



@Máximo: Do you still have the issue with Okular not being able to open
PDF files if the path contains accents? Do the steps described below
possibly also fix the problem for you?

Instead of selecting "cs_CZ.UTF-8", that might be something else in your
case. Can you possibly post the output you get when you type the command
"locale" on the command line?

Regards,
  Michael
