Title:
file-roller mangles non English filenames without warning
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: file-roller
What happens
Because of the inherent limitations in the ZIP archive format as described at
http://superuser.com/questions/60379/linux-zip-tgz-filenames-encoding-problem
it is not possible to encode file names with non-english characters so they
deflate with the correct names.
If the problem is only with files in subfolders it is quite possible
that I won't even see the problem until I try to extract the files -
at which time it is too late to find the files original name.
What I expect
I expect to be warned (at least the first time) if this is going to happen.
Even better file-roller could suggest an archive format which will not mangle
the letters.
