Hi, I hope you have been enjoying the end of the year.


I've been heard that someone can't extract .rar split files using 'The Unarchiver'.

So I asked the status when the problem was occured.

Then I found that The Unarchiver has been waiting to extract after openning all split files first.
But it is limited that openning over 256 files in one process, because the reason is the OSX's OPEN_MAX limits which is the value of concurrently opening files in one precess.

I made a sample-test archive which has 256 split files and openmax CLI binary to check current system's OPEN_MAX limit.

So it might be changed to close each archive files when extract operation of each file is finished in rar extraction process.

---------------
And another issue related with zip password and Windows OEM & ANSI codepage when extracting files.

Current version of The Unarchiver can extract .zip archive which is encoded in Windowos OEM and local codepage password.
Related Link.

But there are some locales which has different OEM and ANSI codepage such as Hebrew.
In that case, the password is encoded into ANSI codepage, not OEM one which is used for filename in archive.
It make a problem in The Unarchiver.

Read below thread which I wrote, please.
String encoding related with encryption issue

And you can easily find the informalion about which has different codepage between OEM and ANSI.
