{tar.gz archive produced by file-roller} is not correctly opened with winrar - non-latin letters in filenames are not correct

Binary package hint: file-roller

{tar.gz archive produced by file-roller} is not correctly opened with winrar - non-latin letters in filenames are not correct

1. create or find file with name like Файл.html (though i compressed directory in which were files with non-latin letters, probably compressing one file is with same bug)
2. click compress in its context menu in nautilus
3. select tar.gz
4. copy that file into windows
5. open that file with winrar
6. you will see "decoded" unicode letters instead of letters "Файл"

This is probably a bug in winrar, as the correct Unicode names are displayed in 7-zip's file manager.

why then winrar reads correctly archives created by itself from such files?

[Mechanical snail (replicator-snail)]

I presume Winrar uses the same (nonstandard) filename encoding for both input and output. So it can read its own files, but doesn't interoperate with anything else.

Try opening a Winrar-created tarball in 7-zip on Windows. If 7-zip opens it, please reopen this bug. (I only tested it on Wine.)
