A.10 Files that Contain Extended or Double-Byte Characters in the File name Are Corrupt After a ZIP File Is Extracted

Problem: When Filr is used to create a ZIP file with files that contain extended or double-byte characters in the file name, the downloaded file names are corrupted when either of the following methods is used to unzip the downloaded ZIP file:

  • Native Windows Explorer on Windows XP and Windows 7

  • File Roller from the graphical interface on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11

To successfully unzip the downloaded ZIP file on Windows XP and Windows 7, use a different program such as Winzip, 7-Zip, or ZipGenius.

To successfully unzip the downloaded ZIP file on SLES 11, use File Roller from the command line with the -S switch.
