File Roller don't know Russian characher set of filenames packed in Windows.

[Alexander Golikov]

Binary package hint: file-roller

File Roller Extracted Files from zip archive packed in Windows in whong Russian characher set. So filenames were lost. But my CLI unzip command works correct whith the same archive (its create two variants of filenames during extracting).

any chance to attach a file example to the report? thanks.

[Alexander Golikov (alexander-golikov)]

here is an example file. folders in archive named in english and file-roller unpacks it correct, but files are called in russian and their names are lost during unpacking (having unreadable chars in them)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Using unzip on a command line has the same issue, either it's a bug in the zip or in the unzip software

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

reassigning to unzip, does it works somewhere else though?

[Alexander Golikov (alexander-golikov)]

No, unzip works correct and fileroller not.
I shell prove it by screenshots from by Ubuntu (if you don't know russian locale you can compare its symbols in my bmp image)

[Alexander Golikov (alexander-golikov)]

By the way zip command works uncorrect if I want to create zip file on Ubuntu and extract it on MS Mindows (may be windows unzip works uncorrect?)
But Ubuntu's unzip works correct allways - its really understand char set of packed files and for user it is no difference what operating system created it.
Fileroller does not understand in-windows-created archives.

As work around for creating cross-platform achive I use MS Windows program 7-zip manager, running it through Wine. In this way i have no problems (but it slower because of wine)

This error (with cp1251 codepage in zip archive) was not present in ubuntu 8.04, but in ubuntu is 10.04, it appeared again! The package Unzip 6.0 disappeared option to specify the character set (5.52 in older distributions ubuntu had options iconv -O -I) If we take unzip from the old distribution, then in the console and Midnight Commander all OK. Please fix this problem.

I guess we should make this bug as duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unzip/+bug/477755

[Alexander Golikov (alexander-golikov)]

Can you comment why unzip created two variants of extracted filenames without any additional keys in command line?

[hexes (ivan-s-borisov)]

When in will be fixen??

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Anton Anikin (anton-anikin)]

Still the same problem in Ubuntu 12.04
unzip works fine, fileroller has the same problem

[Sergey Pashinin (pashinin)]

Still have this bug in 12.10! Unzip doesn't work.
