Bug Description

when e.g. downloading multiple attachments from google mail it offers "utf-8". if a filename contains umlauts, like "ü" it is displayed incorrectly in the file-roller gui. but the whole process, save attachments from gmail into a zip, opening the zip, dragging and dropping it to the filesystem works and preserves the utf-8 umlaut.

Please install p7zip as workaround.

It is actually not a file roller. It is the fact that unzip is kind of broken when dealing with UTF-8 archives.
