I only recently realized that the new version has broken the auto-detection functionality. When I open the same Japanese archive using an older version (such as 7.16), it displays correctly, but the new version consistently shows garbled text.

Hello, this is Bandisoft.

If you have an archive file that offends with the latest version of Bandizip but does not with earlier versions, please send us the archive by email or other cloud services. Having access to such a file will enable us to diagnose and fix the problem.

Hello again,

Thank you for providing us with the valuable samples. We have improved accuracy in the codepage auto-detection feature. Please download the app's test version at the link below and check if the same problem persists.

It's not accurate enough yet, I used another sample and it failed, but 7.16 still worked. It should try to be consistent with older versions, not specific to a particular sample, I can't list all possible samples.

The codepage detection of Bandizip estimates the correct language of the given strings and does not guarantee 100% accuracy. And since the way how the feature works has been changed over updates, the result may differ even for the same archive. If you could provide us with additional samples, though it is difficult for us to fix the problem right now, it would be very helpful for future improvement of the app. We would appreciate your understanding.

You can get more samples from some websites, such as web.

The software may need to increase the weight of some language encodings, such as Chinese and Japanese, which is consistent with the distribution of files transmitted on the Internet.
