Public bug reported:
Ark does not process archives containing files with cyrillic names.
When I try to open the archived file, ark displays files names with garbage
symbols in place of cyrillic ones. When I try to extract a file ark produces an
error message: "The file <different garbage symbols>.doc doesn't exist".
Surprisingly, the archive file's context menu item "extract to..." in Konqueror
works! Maybe it's because this item does not require passing file name to upzip
backend?
Actually, I believe that it's not a problem of ark itself, but of unrar, unzip,
p7zip, gzip, etc.
When I try to list the contents of th archive in the konsole, it also displays
that wrecked names, and I can not make konsole display them good, there just
isn't codepage that fits it.
So I believe these utils produce output in some codepage (presumably,
cp1251), which is not converted, but is sent to the output directly
(which leads to re-coding it as utf8).
