Public bug reported: Hi, I am a user from China, when one of my friend and I are preparing for helping more Chinese user migrate to Ubuntu or Kubuntu, we found Ark doens't work properly as what we want to. Usually we have many files that were compressed on Windows, with Chinese file names. When I tried to decompress one of them I found Ark cannot get the proper encoding of the file. On Windows, the file names are encoded as CP936 or GBK, but Ark regards them as UTF-8 by default, so we cannot see or get the files with right name but all strange characters. I tried to find why, then I know I have installed both p7zip and unzip on my Ubuntu, and Ark calls p7zip package to decompress .zip archive instead of the package 'unzip'. Then I purged the p7zip package and tried again, and the problem is still there, unsolved.
