UTF-8 support in Ark. Trinity: columns[ curCol->colRef ] = unicode_line.mid( strpos, len ); vanilla KDE 3.5.10 (openSUSE): columns[curCol->colRef] = QString::fromLocal8Bit( line.mid(strpos, len) ); KDE 3.5.7 (as was in Trinity before the patch, also in Chakra): columns[ curCol->colRef ] = line.mid( strpos, len ); I wonder whether the openSUSE's solution is better than that in Trinity?
