Very often I need to extract compressed files with Chinese characters in either folder name of file name. If the source files are compressed in Unicode coding, I have no problem to extract them directly in PCManFM-QT. But if the source files are compressed with Non-Unicode coding, the Chinese characters will not show correctly after extracting.
Although I can use “unar -e cp936” in terminal to set correct coding page and get the files with correct Chinese characters, I am wondering if I can get PCManFM-QT/Ark work with this case. I haven’t find any options to set the coding page in PCManFM-QT/Ark.
I am wondering if I can get PCManFM-QT/Ark work with this case.
I’ll just toss this into the mix.
In PCManFM-Qt, you can change the integrated archiver. It’s in the preferences. So, if you can’t get it to work and have another piece of archiving software installed that does work you can change it.
Ok, I can confirm this even in lxqt-archiver in Hirsute, which is likely the direction that we’re going to go for the future, so I need to file an upstream bug. Am I ok to share that example around?
I suspect if you install any of the other archivers mentioned and set up the archiver integration, they all work fine, right?
Thanks for the bug reporting. Pls feel free to share the example file.
If I remember correctly, I have installed only unar after the complete new installation of Lubuntu. I did try to set different archiver integration in PCManFM-Qt, but the zip files were always opened with ARK. Therefore I think I haven’t installed any other archivers mentioned in the integration drop-down list.
