import zip file/java uploader issue -NonEnglish users

[yrabah]

Hi, so Im still new with openKM, I found alot of the information here useful. I set up openkm community 6.2.3. I have an issue that I am wondering if anyone faced for non-english users. I tried to look for someone with similar issue but didnt seem to find

If I upload a document that has Arabic text in name (example Arabic-Name.doc) it uploads fine to the root directory in openkm. also naming arabic folders in openKM is fine. However, my problem is when I import from zip file, all arabic names become unreadable. Also the same on the java uploader.

Anyone knows what could be the issue.

The problem normally comes with zip format, which really internally is not storing as utf-8 ( from windows to windows all goes right but when works with utf-8 scenario then is where you're discovering the incompatibility ). It's quite difficult to solve it, I suggest zip with 7zip application I think you will get better results.

The Problem is character set not matching, Arabic character set uses AR8MSWIN1256 not 1252 (the default).
