Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
Many compressed file such as zip and tar don't support Unicode. 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.
