I was sure I had seen someone explaining the problem as arising from xarchiver, but I seem to have been mistaken. I now understand (I'm new to this bugs.launchpad) that this bug had been assigned to multiple applications (file-roller and xarchiver). In that sense, xarchiver is possibly blameless (I'm no expert on this), the problem lying only with file-roller. I apologise for my premature over-reaction.
As long as we're all agreed that the lack of Unicode filename support from file-roller is a problem... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177929 Title: We need file encoding select function for zip files -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
