Trying to open a file with this filename: "06 - The Orb - A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld (Loving You) (Why Is.flac" does not work. It doesn't matter if I open it directly, try to drag and drop it, or try to add it to the playlist. I made a copy of the file and simply titled it orbhuge.flac and it works.

    What method are you using for opening? Command line or file dialog?

      I would think "Open it directly" either means by the open file dialog, or by clicking on the file from the desktop environment.

      I tried this with a flac file that I renamed to the name quoted and I had no problem opening and playing it by any of those ways or by command line. That was with qmmp 2.1.1 using KDE Plasma, on a BTRFS partition.
