Description Stefan Koehler 2006-07-20 15:19:36 UTC

Version:           2.6.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Hi,

when trying to extract an zip archive with files containing special characters like german ß (unicode 00DF, utf-8 0xc3) then ark displays the filename correctly. but since it is writing the files to /tmp and during this process detroying the filenam, it is unable to extract the relevant files (file not found because filenames not matching). The files are zipped on w2k and extracted on a utf-8 linux with backported KDE 3.5.3 sarge. Strangely the bug does not occur when extracting via servicemenus.

Regards
Stefan

Can you attach a sample archive so we can test for the bug?

This is also Debian bug #293416.  The reporter of that bug attached a patch
(untested by me) which he claims fixes the issue.  I have attached it here.
