ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Hi guys,

I have noticed that Ark struggles to unpack files with the special characters in another language as attached. I have the language pack installed. 

thanks,
Marcel

1, downloaded music online with special characters čžá etc.
2, when unpacked the folder has 0 MB, also the special characters are omitted
3, KDE NEON 5.19 changes special characters when I type but Ark should unpack it anyway?
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2020-07-05 12:40:37 UTC
What type of archive is this (zip, 7z, rar, etc.)? Also, which backend does Ark use (this depends on the distribution and user settings)? Older archive formats didn't have options to specify the encoding of filenames; today's standard is UTF-8, but this was only standardized 27 years ago.
Comment 3 MK 2020-07-05 17:03:01 UTC
Type of file is *.rar.It uses UTF-8 (Locale:LANG=sk_SK.UTF-8). Although it might be the language issue as even if I copy a file from an external HDD KDE Neon doesn`t recognize it. I have installed US language (as it supposed to cause no issues) to begin with and then added Slovak language pack.
