Description Michael Shigorin 2007-02-16 17:01:05 MSK 
It was long observed that file-roller would work OK with both cyrillic archive
filenames and their content names, but mess up Location: bar in non-UTF8 locales
like ru_RU.KOI8-R and refuse to accept non-UTF8 names as command line arguments.

The patch for the former part of a problem is attached (verified); I'm trying to
fix the latter too but for now seems like I can break more than fix.

2 eostapets: thunar-archive-plugin would try to pass filename argument to
file-roller (nice "plugin", heh) and fail if it's not UTF.  So you might be
interested too ;)

UTF8 test passed for me too

I've kludged around opening archives from commandline but it's sort of band-aid
-- window title, recent files and archive creation are broken (in non-utf setup).

Passing on to an actual (so far) maintainer.

This sort of fixes opening cyrillic named archives from commandline but should
definitely break something and is incomplete anyways: window title, recent
files and archive _creation_ aren't cared for at all.

Actually it might make sense to have window->locale_filename, no?

APPARENTLY.
