CBR/Z character-support for inner filenames
More and more I get errors reading cbr / cbz files.
Pages not shown (only the blue ?) When I open the files in winrar, the problem (almost) always is the filename of the pictures. If it is not in [-A-Za-z0-9_ .] (dot like \.) calibre can't open the file. Is it possible to add more characters? I had some foreign letters (Alpha, Beta) but also often a # (in comic / magazine series) Support of this would be very appreciated Keep up the good work! |

calibre supports non ascii characters in filenames just fine, when they are properly encoded in the zip file in UTF-8. If they are not so encoded, then calibre has to guess their encoding and that guessing can fail.

so that's the point.
That makes live more easy. I just have to rebuild the zip / rar with right encoding. Wouldn't that be a easy task for calibre to do during import? Or is that a very heavy task to perform (in that case maybe an indicator of encoding type so you can manual perform this action?) |

The problem is calibre does not know the right encoding to start with, so there's no way to fix it automatically. You could in theory have a plugin that allows the user to specify an encoding and then the plugin fixes the file names, but such a manual step would not fit well with calibre's normal workflow.
