Description the_iceqb 2022-10-02 14:14:39 UTC

Hello,

I'm running Ark on my Steam Deck which came included out of the box in Steam OS (latest version - Arch distro).
I have an archive called "File™.rar" and inside this archive is a folder with the same name, including the special ™ character.

When I try to open this file with Ark, the GUI says "cannot open file File??????????????.rar".

Once I remove the ™ from the archives' filename, Ark opens the file just fine but shows the folder inside as "File(TM)" instead of "File™".

When I then try to extract this folder, Ark then seems to have problems creating a directory.
I can see that it creates a file with the name "File(TM)" which also grows in size during the extraction and the OS prompts me to Overwrite(or Skip, Rename, Cancel) every file within the archive, because it says it already exists ... even though it doesn't.

So when I tell it to just apply the overwrite operation to all files, I can see that it extracts all files within the archive, but once it finishes, it just deletes the created file "File(TM)" it created instead of a directory and that's all.

I get the same result with UnRAR, so I don't know if this issue is Ark specific.
I read in another similar issue that it might be something related to UTF-8, but I can create folders and files on my filesystem with the ™ character just fine, so I hope that this issue is valid.

I hope you can help me out - if further information is required, please let me know.

Kindest regards

I can open a file named File™.rar just fine with ark.

Can you specify with ark version are you using?

Also where are you opening it from?

Maybe it would make sense to share that file with us?

Sorry for the late reply,

- I'm using Ark v21.12.1
- I'm opening the file from /Home/Apps  <-- Filesystem is ext4
- I have attached a test file to this issue here

Thank you for your help!

Does this file reproduce the issue on your steam deck?

It opens fine for me on my steam deck. And it works fine with ark on a normal PC with both the unrar and unarchive backends.
