SVG with media output fails with special characters

Still in progress.
And I still have problems with zip encoding:
* Works well on Windows if I use cp437 (bug unusable on Linux).
* Works well on Linux if I use latin-1 (bug unusable on Windows).
* Doesn't work at all with utf-8.

Does anyone have a clue?

Not surprisingly I have the same kind of issue if I compress a file on Ubuntu (tar.gz or .zip) and try to open it on Windows, and vice versa (only 7zip format seems to work well).
Switching to lzma could be a solution, but it is not supported in the current Python version as a default module and I'm reluctant to add another external one.

I think that I will commit my current dev version, which uses cp437 on Windows and latin-1 on Linux and OSX. As long as you don't share the compressed file between these operating systems, it should work as expected.
Of course, if you don't use special characters in your path, there's no problem at all!

New version committed in bzr rev. 9134.
I'm going to open a new report for the cross-platform issue.

Adding upstream patch which fixes this bug

using cp437 really sounds like a work-around and not a full solution. We should look into that aspect.

This bug will be fixed in Ubuntu with the release of inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu1, which will appear in Maverick shortly. Please see bug #628048 for details.
