file-roller zip extracting encoding problem

[Fırat Küçük]

Binary package hint: file-roller

when extracting a file from a zip archive which file name is in ISO-8859-9 format. It converts characters to another format.

for instance:

YÖNLENDİRİLMİŞ ÇALIŞMA RAPOR.doc

to

YЩNLENDШRШLMШЮ АALIЮMA RAPOR.doc

Thank you for your bug. Does using unzip on it does the same? Could you attach an example to the bug?

[Fırat Küçük (firatkucuk)]

unzip has the same result. an encoding problem.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not really a bug, GNOME is using utf-8, filename encoded to a different format are not displayed correctly then

[Yannis Tsop (ogiannhs)]

why cant we change the preferred encoding for a specific archive?? or even better cant we choose a default encoding for non utf8 filenames?

this bug is specific to feisty. i didn't test it on gutsy. But edgy was ok.

Same here. I made archive with helping hand of file-roller. Archive (zip) contained non-Latin (Russian) file names in UTF-8 from my Ubuntu Linux Gutsy Gibbon and in my system it appears fine. BUT when someone tries to open my archive in other OS - can not read any symbol there in my archive and can extract files named wrong. What should I do?
