I had a similar problem lately, after I switched to UTF8. Dolphin and some=
=20
other applications were unable to deal with these files. i was advised here=
=20
to emerge convmv and use this utility to convert the filenames to UTF8.=20
Maybe something like 'convmv -f latin1 -t utf-8 Sigur\ Ros\ -\ 07<tab>'=20
works for you, too. In order to actually do the conversion, add the --notes=
t=20
option. convmv also supports recursive conversion of whole directory trees.
