Giraffe Dung Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 http://www.macitbetter.com Three years after getting my first Mac, I've finally found a piece of archive software comparable to WinRAR. This is full GUI, will open just about any archive format you can mention, no problems with passwords, and you can 'open' the archive just like WinZIP/WinRAR too, no need to extract it immediately. The icing on the cake is the quick look integration (optional download). And it's not pointlessly bloated like StuffIt. It's not free, I think it's nagware like WinRAR. And to make RAR files you need the RAR libraries. I'd literally given up hope of ever finding this software, assuming that the awful archive compatibility of OS X was just one of those guilty secrets that Mac users don't talk about. I'm very chuffed. Cue someone chiming in with how this/a superior alternative is common knowledge....?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Dung Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 unrar -x rarfile.rar Command line ftl, I didn't spend close to a grand on a typewriter! I was using those archive library shell extensions (technical terms and me don't really get on sometimes so) but they didn't work with passwords, so UnRarX for passworded stuff, until this point. This is so much better. Honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Dung Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Never had a problem with "the unarchiver" tbh it won't work with passworded rar files for me, and you can't look inside an archive you have to extract it first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
