Unzip JP GUI

Unzip Japanese Shift-JIS zip archives on non-Japanese systems. This script unzips the file while converting the file names from Shift-JIS to UTF-8.

Japanese versions of Windows use Shift-JIS encoding to store file names. When a zip file is created from files containing Japanese characters and later opened on a non-Japanese system, the file names are scrambled. This program aims to fix that problem.

Usage/Examples

Run the program as described in Run Locally.

Ensure you have TKinter installed if you want to run the file manually.
