#355 UTF8 option

When I zip a file named "Cliquez ici pour démarrer COMPILIBRE.bat" with PeaZip 5.5.1 under Windows and then unzip it under GNU/Linux, the filename becomes "Cliquez ici pour dВmarrer COMPILIBRE.bat" ("dВmarrer" instead of "démarrer").
If I check the UTF8 option in PeaZip configuration (see joined file), it's OK, the filename stays "Cliquez ici pour démarrer COMPILIBRE.bat".
So, it would be better to have this option always checked in PeaZip configuration. It's not the case after installing PeaZip, could you check it by default (or suppress this option and let it active in the software) ?
I did not test this with Windows/Mac OS X.

UTF8 handling has been improved with 6.x line, thanks to new Lazarus/FPC compiler, similar issues has been tested as resolved - please re-open the ticket if this one is not resolved on new releases.

Tested with PeaZip 6.1.0, nothing changed, always the same problem.

Text encoding of filenames in ZIP archives can now be set in Options > Settings > Advanced, which is applied either for browsing, extracting, and creating ZIP archives.
The issue with filenames' encoding ZIP archives happens when the archive is created using a locale that is different from the codepage of the recipient - this may be avoided either using UTF-8, or agreeing on the codepage to be used, but still happens quite frequently.
With the new setting it is possible to have full control on text encoding for ZIP files.
