Summary: Ark incorrectly displays UTF8 (or non-UTF8) characters and incorrectly passes filenames to other programs

Attachments: Ark showing the file with ??? characters
Okular can not preview file from Ark

Description Daniel Duris 2013-08-02 07:46:03 UTC 
Arks shows ???? characters instead of proper UTF-8 (or non-UTF8 / some other encoding) characters in filenames and therefore when clicked for preview it passes it incorrectly to other programs that further complain about not being able to open them.

If extracting instead, although Ark uses incorrect characters, it correctly extracts the file. Then you are able to open the file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Download and open in Ark: http://enviroportal.sk/eia/dokument/179412
2. Try the file to open (not leaving Ark, not extracting)
3.  Error shown (about ??? causing problems when opening)
Actual Results:  
File not opened because of incorrectly identified characters / character set

Expected Results:  
File opened with correctly identified characters (or convert to UTF8...)

Can't reproduce. The pdf file within the archive is correctly opened  being clicked for preview.

When I check that directory /tmp/kde-..../ark.... no file is there.
Comment 5 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2014-04-05 20:02:21 UTC 
I was able to reproduce it here as well. This is more of an issue with infozip and its unzip utility. More recent versions are able to handle these different encodings in a better way. For example, if I use unzip 6.0 with iconv support, I can finally see a character instead of a "?" in the file name and am able to preview it with Okular.
