Hard-drive ZIP decompression not consistent with Hard-drive folders - FS-UAE 3.0.5
Files under a Hard-drive ZIP file do not get decoded the same as when using them under a Hard-drive folder.
When using a Hard-drive folder, to get filenames which cannot be used on non-amiga filesystems, we can use the characters "%2a" allow encoding of the "*" (asterisk symbol) on the Amiga-end. When the same method is used with a hard-drive ZIP file, the character "%" gets re-encoded to "%25" during ZIP decompression which causes the Amiga-end not to be able to get the same filename.
Here is an example:
Our goal is to get the file-name "(asterisk)IMPACT(asterisk)" as shown in the photo for the game "Super Foul Egg"
While the same files are used from a ZIP , the Amiga-end would read "%2a25IMPACT%2a25" instead of "IMPACT"
This was tested with FS-UAE 3.0.5 on Windows, but possibly may have the same result with Linux and Mac.
