I am using Mint 10 (Julia) based on Ubuntu 10.10. I had problem when trying to extract files with Turkish letter (ş, ç, ö, ğ ...) from and archive. It gave naming error. There was question marks in place of those letters. I search "archive" in software manager and I uninstalled many relevant (at least I thought so) components like p7zip, unzip, unrar, file-roller etc. Then I installed deb package of Peazip from its website. I didn't like it then I uninstalled it and installed file-roller only (from software manager). I don't know how but the problem has disappeared.

But file-roller read every file as UTF-8, so it sometimes makes encoding problem. I think may be, you could think that it's not a big problem or it's not a bug or we don't need those feature. If you deal with only English it's not a problem at all. But it's a big problem for East Asian people such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Because zip file is still popular. And many people compress zip file in Windows, and share the zip files. Windows don't use UTF-8. Many CJK people want to uncompress these zip files. There are some way to solve this problem (by another software). But all are too complex to Ubuntu newbies. I wish file-roller support encoding select function.
