Title:
Should autodetect filename character encoding in zip files
Status in File Roller:
Confirmed
Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “xarchiver” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: file-roller
Many compressed file such as zip don't specify filename encoding. But
file-roller read every file as UTF-8, so it sometimes makes encoding
problem.
I think may be, you could think that it's not a big problem or it's
not a bug or we don't need those feature. If you deal with only
English it's not a problem at all. But it's a big problem for East
Asian people such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Because zip file is
still popular. And many people compress zip file in Windows, and share
the zip files. Windows don't use UTF-8.
Many CJK people want to uncompress these zip files. There are some way
to solve this problem (by another software). But all are too complex
to Ubuntu newbies. I wish file-roller support encoding select
function.
