--- Comment #5 from Ragnar Thomsen <rthoms...@gmail.com> --- I tried using KEncodingParser with the libzip-plugin to open the attached Japanese zip archive. It seems like it could correctly detect the encoding for all the files (see attached screenshot), so this seems like a promising approach. I also tried using the uchardet library but it detected ASCII encoding for all the files. One concern is the overhead of probing for the encoding of each archive entry. Opening the linux kernel source in zip format took 106 secs with probing vs 5 secs without, so there is significant overhead to this approach. I think we either need to be smart and only probe when needed (can't see how though) or we add a menu item in the GUI to reload the archive with probing of filename encodings. If we could assume that all archive entries have the same encoding, we could only probe the first entry, but I think this assumption doesn't hold in real life, e.g. in the attached archive the first entry is detected as UTF8 since it doesn't contain Japanese characters. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
