Bug description:
Hi,
I am a user from China, when one of my friend and I are preparing for helping
more Chinese user migrate to Ubuntu or Kubuntu, we found file-roller and ark
don't work properly as what we want to.
Usually we have many files that were compressed on Windows, with Chinese file
names. When I tried to decompress one of them I found Ark cannot get the proper
encoding of the file. On Windows, the file names are encoded as CP936 or GBK,
but Ark regards them as UTF-8 by default, so we cannot see or get the files
with right name but all strange characters. I tried to find why, then I know I
have installed both p7zip and unzip on my Ubuntu, and Ark calls p7zip package
to decompress .zip archive instead of the package 'unzip'. Then I purged the
p7zip package and tried again, and the problem is still there, unsolved.
Thanks for your time to pay attention to this problem.
Some more information about my system and the softwares are listed here:
This problem was reported since Jaunty, and still persist in Karmic.
