It seems to me (or, maybe, I've missed it) that nobody mentioned an option to manually select the charset for filenames in the archive. This option can be added e.g., to "Archive Manager" and so on (DE-specific tools).

I understand, that auto-detection is highly desired, but it's quite problematic, as far as I can see in this ticket. On the other side, I'm pretty sure, that manual selection option _itself_ would solve the problem for 60%+ of users. Others would find solutions (involving this new charset selector) over Internet. Currently, there are no answers (except of using windows/wine for un[re]packing, or quite complex approaches, like fuse-zip) even for advanced users, which I think is too bad.
