--- Comment #13 from LaughingMan <lingm+kdeb...@posteo.org> ---
Instead of asking the user to provide the encoding, would it be an option to
simply attempt decrypting with several common encodings? Yes, there are
probably a few zip files out there with very exotic encodings, but simply
trying several ones would cover the vast majority. Unlike when displaying text,
the program can know that the right encoding was found when decryption
succeeds.
Let's be real, most people have no idea that text encodings even exists, what
they are, let alone which one to choose. Not asking is the better UX.
It might slow down showing the failure message if a wrong password is entered,
but hopefully not to a relevant degree.
