As I studied this issue a little bit, I'd give a brief summary here. There are Unicode enabled and non-Unicode enabled ZIP archives.
If you system has unzip/zip but not 7z, neither type of ZIP archives can be displayed in File Roller. This due to limitation of unzip. If you system has 7z, File Roller can correctly display Unicode enabled ZIP archives. For non-Unicode enabled ZIP archives, you can handle them with lsar/unar (included since 12.04), which supports encoding conversion natively. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596193 Title: file-roller doesn't handle zip archives containing accentued characters correctly Status in File Roller: Confirmed Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: file-roller Every time someone sends me a zip archive (.zip) with files containing characters like é, è, ç, etc. the following happens : 1) File-roller shows a badly decoded name in its interface 2) Sometimes it's impossible to extract the file because the command line generated by file-roller uses those badly decoded names Extracting the files with unzip file.zip works perfectly though ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: file-roller 2.30.1.1-0ubuntu2 [modified: usr/lib/file-roller/file-roller/rpm2cpio usr/bin/file-roller] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.36-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jun 19 10:28:04 2010 ProcEnviron: LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: file-roller To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/596193/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
