Bug ID: 378904
Summary: Ark should use charset auto-detection for filenames
Product: ark
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
ZIP archives have no standardised encoding for filenames and do not supply the
charset information in the archive itself. This results in a problem that
occurs when opening a ZIP created by, say, a Japanese Windows user, in Ark, as
the filenames will come out as a garbled mess since Ark will expect a different
encoding than the one that was used.
This can be worked around by using a library such as uchardet, which can guess
the used encoding from the binary filename string. Allowing users to manually
specify which encoding should be tried would also be a helpful addition.
