Bug ID: 431348
Summary: rar files with a unicode name containing non-latin
characters cannot be opened
Product: ark
Version: 20.12.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plugins
Assignee: rthoms...@gmail.com
Reporter: nevinevi...@yahoo.com
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If a .rar filename contains non-latin characters (e.g. Japanese), Ark will not
be able to open the file's contents.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a .rar file with a Japanese name (or other language with a non-latin
character set)
2. Try opening it with ark
OBSERVED RESULT
Error: "The archive is empty or Ark could not open its content"
Additional comment pops up:
Cannot open /home/user/Downloads/???????????????????????????????
????????????????????? ?????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.ra
No such file or directory
EXPECTED RESULT
Files should be able to be opened regardless of their name, if allowed by the
OS. Furthermore, other file formats (zip, 7z, etc) don't have this problem.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 5.10.4-1-default
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Renaming the file to a name containing only latin characters allows Ark to open
its contents.
