Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) When i created zip-archive containing russian filenames (through RMB->Actions->Create ZIP arxhive; syslocale is koi8-u) and browsed it on Windows, filenames contained pseudographic characters. Zip slave should convert filenames from syslocale to cp1251.
Well, that is the problem of the ZIP format. It does not tell in which encoding the file format is and it is always in the locale encoding (since MS-DOS.) Have a nice day!

so the possible resolution is to make second zip action RMB->Actions->Create ZIP archive (windows compatible)
See also bug #89051 for problem about ZIP file name encoding.
This issue does still exist, but adding a separate option does not seem like a good idea to me. I'll move it over to kio-extras, but a good solution should be done in harmony with KZip (see bug 89051).
