Unpacking from archive fails if path contains cyrillic symbols

[Aleksandr Sh]

1. Create a folder named "Рабочая папка"
2. Archive a project into it. This works.
3. Try to unarchive that zip. It does not create any files to the output directory

This appears to be a wx issue but we might get around it using a different archive method in v6

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

I cannot reproduce this issue on W7 32 bits

[Aleksandr Sh (dsa-t)]

There seem to be a workaround for that: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/17244

[Aleksandr Sh (dsa-t)]

jp-charras, make sure you have the archive in "Рабочая папка"

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

OK.
It happens on wxWidgets 3.04, not on wxWidgets 3.1.1
Looks like is is fixed in wxWidgets.

Fixed in revision 3a1e66dba3e4fa7b658d30b742e9bc66b7fac896

Unfortunately, the bug is not fixed (W7, wxWidgets 3.04).
The archive is still empty: files named "Рабочая папка.xxx" are not stored in archive

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

Hi JP- That part is not fixable in the same way as this bug report. URI encoding of the input files results in archive names that are encoded with a string of '%xx' blocks. This is unreadable to me, so I suspect others would not like it.

As you note, all aspects are fixing in wx 3.1, so we might wait for the next wx or change to a different method of archiving in v6. Thoughts?

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

Hi Seth,

Yes, I know... and name encoded as '%xx' blocks are not usable.
Because it is already fixed in wx 3.1, we could wait for the next wxWidgets version.

Non ascii7 chars and spaces in paths always create issues, not only in Kicad, but in many other tools, and/or in scripts.
For instance in OCE for 3D step files.
When I right click on the file "Рабочая папка.sch" to open it inside my editor (SciTE), the editor cannot open this file.
I am able to open it from my editor, but not from the Windows File manager...
