Linux doesn't have this problem.
Tar and related libraries for compression like gzip and lzma, unrar, and zip, along with far better frontends for controlling them within a file manager, are all easily available or already there on most desktop distros
Use 7zip anyway stupid.
>>43350042>1. no icons in context menu click, yes it matters for easily spot shitHoly shit what a petty complaint. Is that really what you care about?
>2. no detect that you clicked an archive file, seriously, offering me to pack a zip file? Yeah for that I would bother to go in to winzip GUII don't know what you're trying to say. Is this not some problem with explorer and what you have the file set to default open with? Please explain the issue better.
>3. SLOW SLOW SLOWI doubt it's any slower than winrar. Install Linux if you care.
>4. no support, no updates for yearsWinrar is proprietary. They've released updates, but I've doubt they';ve done much at all to it. I think 7zip is probably at the stage of "what else is there to do?".
>>43350060Why the fuck would you ever create a rar file? Fuck you, you should NEVER be creating rar files and spreading that garbage. Use normal formats, like tar.gzip or just zip.
>you can't even open RAR files with password on it.Pretty sure you can.
>>43350093Tar along with any standard compression formats like bzip2, lzma, xz, or gzip. This is the best choice there is.
>>43350629Linux with the dolphin file manager you can double-click on archives and open them like any other folder and use the files inside like that too.
I don't know what you mean by this, but winrar can't do that either, both only have a little popup window where you can see the files before extracting.
