Hi all we wrote http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/zip.html#Encoding back when Windows XP was state of the art. In there we claim the "compressed folders" feature didn't recognize the language encoding flag and advised people to use the platform's native encoding when targeting Windows.
A discussion on a different list made me re-check on a Windows 7 VM and it seems as if "compressed folders" properly extracted some of my filenames, but not all of them (Umlauts seemed to work, the Euro glyph didn't). I haven't got access to a Windows 8 box at all. Can anybody with access to a Windows more modern than Windows XP please try to create a ZIP archive using Compress' ZipArchiveOutpuStream with UTF-8 encoding, language encoding flag set and with some filenames that use Unicode characters outside of the Windows system's platform encoding - and see whether "compressed folders" extracts them properly?
