The Unarchiver, part 2 (486)

1 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2011-08-31 12:54 ID:EvuKrlQD [Del]

As the previous thread filled up, here is part 2 of the The Unarchiver thread.

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!

I have tested it several times now and when that Text Tools app is uninstalled, all works well. This also was causing crashes in VirusBarrier and a few other apps that were randomly crashing. Not a single problem since i removed them.

Hope this helps a bit and gives an idea what that code was doing

Good to know!

v3.7 has been released:

  • Added Bulgarian translation.
  • Fix a bug that would make files with invalid filenames not work in Zip and Exe files.
  • Fix some small memory leaks.
  • Read-only attributes for files in archives are now ignored. This caused some files not to extract correctly in older versions.
  • Fix a bug with parsing Tar files.

304 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2013-04-05 17:25 ID:KuzvVvM1 [Del]

And unar and lsar have been updated to 1.6:

  • Added switch for quiet mode.
  • Added contributed bash completion scripts.
  • Fix a bug that would make files with invalid filenames not work in Zip and Exe files.
  • Fix some small memory leaks.
  • Fix a bug with parsing Tar files.

During extracting a multi-volume Rar archive (inside this: http://www34.zippyshare.com/d/55545561/225223/32134124121thirty.rar) the app (v3.7) stops with the message "The archive file is corrupted". If you press Stop or Continue button the app crashes: http://pastebin.com/qSv5Mitq . Similar crash (http://pastebin.com/yS3A6EmX) applies to the command line (unar, lsar -t) tools. Other tools/apps doesn't signal any errors in the archive when testing or extracting it.

Realized that The Unarchiver usually takes a little bit more of time to
extract archive files in comparison to other apps like Keka.
Although no matter how long it takes I have no other choice since it's the only app
that supports encoding choice when unarchiving.
Any... workarounds idea so far?

312 Name: PD : 2013-05-25 13:16 ID:PbC75HbM [Del]

I love the Unarchiver, but it would be terrific if it supported Delete After Extraction which is available in Archive Utility. Move To Trash is good but it's not of any use on network shares, you need a straight Delete for that.

Thanks!

So, it's time for another update. 3.8 is out, and this time I am so sick of Apple's approval nonsense that I am not going to bother waiting for them. I'm releasing 3.8 now, and whenever Apple feels like approving it, it will show up on the App Store. Expect a week or two, if things go quickly.

Changes are:

  • Added Brazilian Portugese translation.
  • Added support for XIP files.
  • Fixed some crashes and unsupported files for RAR.
  • Better support for RAR Mac OS X SFX files.
  • Fixed crashes for certain CAB and PDF files.
  • Added support for comments in Amiga LhA files.
  • Fixed French translation.

314 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2013-07-04 17:06 ID:KuzvVvM1 [Del]

lsar and unar 1.7 are also out, with mostly the same change list.

  • Added -v option to just print version and exit.
  • Added support for XIP files.
  • Fixed some crashes and unsupported files for RAR.
  • Better support for RAR Mac OS X SFX files.
  • Fixed crashes for certain CAB and PDF files.
  • Added support for comments in Amiga LhA files.

Hello there,
I'm having a problem with the unarchiver and jar files, I do not want to use the unarchiver to archive jar files, but there is no possible way of doing it otherwise, and if there is no way of fixing it, how can I uninstall the unarchiver?

Use Get Info in the Finder to pick another program to open the files. Also, go easy on the Reply button.

I downloaded a zip which was password protected. I was never prompted for a password and ended up with corrupted files. It seems like they were blindly decompressed without decrypting or something to that effect.

Is there any way to fix these files or am I completely fucked up the ass and should throw my macbook away?

I tried re-zipping them then trying to force unzip with the password using the zip and unzip commands to no avail.

I created a tar of a folder with subfolders in Windows 7.

When I extract them on mac, all the files are extracted, but the folder structure is not recreated.

Instead i get all files extracted to the top folder with filenames with "\"s. Example:

TopFolder\SubFolder1\file1.txt.

In windows this same files extracts correctly.

Am I missing an option or something?

Thanks.

I'd say the tar code expects forward slashes, and I don't think backwards slashes are correct in a tar file. But try to see if "tar xvf file.tar" in Terminal.app extracts it correctly or not. If it does, I will have to fix that.

Unarchiver just stopped working for me. Clicking a .zip file invokes it but no windows, no progress, and the app refuses to quit afterwards.

I downloaded a new copy but - in classic kafkaesque fashion - the download is a .zip file.

If I open it with Stuffit expander I can see a folder being created in the same directory but it auto-deletes as soon as the process is complete.

Any ideas? is my Mac haunted?

343 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2013-09-26 13:19 ID:Heaven [Del]

That all sounds absurd. Are there any useful message printed to Console.app?

344 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2013-10-01 17:56 ID:KuzvVvM1 [Del]

3.9 has been released. Changes are:

  • Add Dutch translation.
  • Add support for PMA files.
  • Better support for broken Zip files.
  • Fixed bugs in handling of NSIS and MSI files.
  • Fixed a bug where minimizing the window could make it remain open after extracting.
  • Tiny interface tweaks.

345 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2013-10-01 17:56 ID:KuzvVvM1 [Del]

unar and lsar 1.8 have also been released, to match:

  • Add support for PMA files.
  • Better support for broken Zip files.
  • Fixed bugs in handling of NSIS and MSI files.
  • Fixed crash when extracting files with extended attributes on Windows.
  • Small bugfixes for output text on Windows.

346 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2013-10-02 17:08 ID:KuzvVvM1 [Del]

Oops, there was a bug that cause double-format archives like .tar.gz to not extract right. 3.9.1 has been released to fix this. Hopefully the app store will get around to updating soon too.

unar and lsar 1.8.1 have also been released, where the same bug only cause them to print the wrong directory after extraction, the files still extracted fine.

347 Name: straycat : 2013-10-04 16:11 ID:x/6HYZ9j [Del]

Reminder: If window is minimized or hidden while extracting, when it's finished the icon remains in the Dock and doesn't auto quit. Not a biggie, just reporting.
Cheers.

I've had the same problem. There's an update available from the Mac App Store app, select update and then it displays a message that says it failed.

I found a solution was to completely remove The Unarchiver from my system (using a utility like AppCleaner) and then to redownload from the Mac App Store.

Love it except for it doesn't do regular deletes on network drives.

>>362

This is intentional, as you can't move a file to the trash on a network drive, you have to delete it permanently, and that seems too drastic for an automatic deletion function.

Maybe have it as an advanced feature somewhat hidden with a warning prior to selecting the option or something. I think more and more people are now using external/network drives so this would be helpful.

OK, so I'm no geek. But I downloaded The Unarchiver from the Apps Store - and even tossed in a donation because, heck, a person should be paid for his hard work. And up it pops on my screen saying that I have to choose an application to open it - making no suggestions, mind you! Huh? What? I looked in Utilities, wondering if there was something there that would work, but I'm leery of messing up my computer, so I closed Utilities - and The Unarchiver had simply vanished. It's not in Downloads. Finder can't find it.
Guess I should have seen if I could even open it, before I paid for it. Can anyone help me?

For RAR format, the "Support level" "Full" is misleading if not false because there is not support for RAR 5.0. I would vote to implement the support but please in the meantime update the Supported formats page for accuracy.

You should update rar version inside unarchiver. From this last months I cannot use my favourite app (the unarchiver) because it cannot handle last rar version properly.

Archives packed with rar5.0 will not be extracted with the unarchiver.
