Japanese characters are garbled
When I download template files from a printing company all the Japanese characters are garbled. Can you fix the encoding please?
oh, so the problem isn't that the software doesn't support the encoding. But it's the software that needs to be able to detect encodings that are not being used by the system and load them correctly.
can it simply provide an option for user to choose from?
I think I will provide an file name encoding selection option in the future version of NanaZip's file manager.

Can I open a more detailed issue on this?
My Test file: https://nanahira.jp/haruka_nana/data/mmd.zip
The test file looks like this on NanaZip 3.5 Preview 0 (3.5.1000.0)
This is what it should look like:

This is not a problem with NanaZip, it's a problem with the zip file itself, which is only supported on devices that work with Shift JIS encoding.
A temporary workaround is that NanaZip offers the ability to manually select a code page, but more importantly the person creating the zip file should use modern compression software, or use a zip file format such as 7Z that defaults to a common encoding such as UTF-8.
This is the file I generated after compressing it with NanaZip, and all compression software that supports reading Info-ZIP Unicode Path Extra Field gets the filename correctly when opening the file.
Where can I manually select a code page? I had to use a stackoverflow command to do it
The permanent solution is never coming, people are still creating zip files with Japanese encoding. NanaZip needs a GUI option to change the code page, has it been implemented yet? https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip/issues/70
It still has not been implemented yet. Which is annoying, and forces me to install both nanazip and 7zip in order to use the binary terminal commands.
