The Unarchiver, part 2 (486)
1 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2011-08-31 12:54 ID:EvuKrlQD
As the previous thread filled up, here is part 2 of the The Unarchiver thread.
- The old thread is here: http://wakaba.c3.cx/sup/kareha.pl/1151796773/
- The homepage is here: http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver
- The Google Code page is here: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/
It is much better to post bugs on the bug tracker, rather than in this thread! Anything posted on the bug tracker has much less chance of being forgotten by me!
So, post bugs here: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/issues/list
Also, remember that if you post a bug about a file that is not work, you must also post the file itself, or else there is nothing I can do about it!

It would be great if the tool recognized CP/M .lbr archives with lzh "crunched" members, e.g. a file originally named SRC.Z80 would be contained as SRC.ZZ0. Currently, it extracts the crunched file and leaves it compressed. I have not been able to find a Linux based tool that can subsequently handle it.

Actually, I notice I have at least one testcase already with that kind of files. It seems they unpack just fine if I run unar on them for a second time.
However, you are right that it would be a lot more useful to unpack them automatically. Feel free to file an issue about that, at least, so I don't forget.

The Unarchiver 2.7.1 could not open a ZIP archive which is larger than 4GB.
Could you fix this problem?
I am using Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8.

The ZIP archive is too large to send to you.
I have created another ZIP archive using Mac OS X Finder.
(1) Select '/Developer' folder on my Mac.
(2) Choose 'Compress "Developer"' in the File menu of Finder.
The ZIP file is about 6GB. The Unarchiver could not open the ZIP archive.

I managed to recreate the problem, and will look into it. Thanks!

Ok, I found the problem. The Finder does not create valid Zip64 files when it makes files that are bigger than 4GB. I added a workaround to try and read them anyway.

So I've just downloaded the unarchiver and it's asking me for a password before it unzips my files. I have no idea what this might be. Could you help me out?

Not really. You'll have to ask whoever made the files.

First off,
I just want to say what a great app The Unarchiver is and am so happy to discover's maker to be one and the same of one of my favorite sites, wakaba. I am thoroughly impressed with all your coding endeavors and sing your praise.
I stumbled here actually looking for information about command line functions. I noticed Transmission in its preference with the option to Call script when download completes and was wondering if I could plug in a few lines into Automator and maybe make an .rar detection and .rar extraction type thing with Automator.

How is your RAR implementation free? Did you implement the virtual machine from scratch? This confuses me.

Every part is implemented from scratch, including the virtual machine.

Just downloaded on my iMac running Leopard. Is there an option to JUST "view" the archive files WITHOUT unarchiving it into a folder?? I was hoping your utility had that since the default Mac utility also did the same & I do not always want t a new folder created. Thx in advance.

Hi there - I had posted this 2 weeks ago but have not seen a response yet. Any help will be appreciated -- << Just downloaded on my iMac running Leopard.

Youre app is awesome. Had nearly ten app or command line tries but always problems with the special characters of a zip file I got from a customer. Took me 3 hours to try and fail again and again. Now it was done in 30 seconds.
Thank you, my friend!

Your doc page mentions command-line versions of the tool (lsar and unar). It would be great to include them, along with man pages, on the App Store download. Even if those are just under the .app wrapper and one needs to find them and link to them, it'd be a good addition.

I might once they are out of beta (which should be next release), if I can figure out a decent way to do it.

I plan to use The Unarchiver in an application. The lsar program does its work great, it just lists the archive files.
One suggestion: please make both lsar and unar exit with an error code when errors occur during the list/extract operation.
28 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2011-11-04 07:09 ID:Heaven
They should do that already, I think?

$ unar arch.rar ; echo $?
Extracting arch.rar... Couldn't open archive.
0
They exit with an error message, not an error code.

What version?
