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!
And unar and lsar have been updated to 1.6:
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.
Yes, I can reproduce this.
I found another one that is bring up the preferences: Appriority
The unar/lsar command line tools have been added to Homebrew, they can be installed with brew install unar
.
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?
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:
lsar and unar 1.7 are also out, with mostly the same change list.

Why The Unarchiver doesn't unarchive automactly my .zip folder?
I am not sure what you mean.
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.
Dear The Unarchiver Support,
Is it permissible to deploy your application in an academic/teaching environment for usage by students during a class?
Thanks!

Is there a way to combine RAR files into a single folder/file? For instance I have 6 .rar parts and need them to combine into one folder/file because each part contains a portion of the folder/file.
Is there a way to set it to show the contents of the archive before extracting? Mac OS 10.8.4. Thanks.
I'd like to see a support for the new RAR 5.0 format, see http://www.rarlab.com/rarnew.htm and http://www.rarlab.com/technote.htm
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?
That all sounds absurd. Are there any useful message printed to Console.app?
3.9 has been released. Changes are:
unar and lsar 1.8 have also been released, to match:
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.
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.
Latest update will not download.
Get referred to purchase page and it will not download from there either.
Suggestions?
I am not sure about what you are trying to download, from where, or what page that is. Can you please be more specific?
is support for the new RAR 5.0 format planned?
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.
HTH
That should probably be reported to Apple, as it is entirely their responsibility.
After downloading a multi-part RAR file, such as the flacs at http://djrichiep.com/fun-with-vinyl-collections/fwv019-prince-the-virtual-u-s-7-singles-box-volume-1, The Unarchiver unzips the file multiple times, wasting time and disc space. Any solution?
That should not happen. Are you trying to open all the parts at one time? And which version, on which OS?
how do i extract rar files that are split in parts? do i need to extract it as one, or multiple?
Yes I download a lot of .rar that have multiple parts. And I think that was the problem I assumed I had to select all the rar files and double-click. Problem solved by clicking the first one
thank you.
Love it except for it doesn't do regular deletes on network drives.
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.
>>363
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.
Please add an option to show typed passwords.
Could you please prominently display current the version number on The Unarchiver web page?
Just downloaded it for my Mac and tried to unarchive a 7z file...Only to get an error-message to say that the file "cannot be extracted with this program."
Please file a bug on the issue tracker, and include the file, or else I can not do anything about it.
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?
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do. If you bought it on the App Store, it should be in Applications, and you can just click it there to start it. Is there any problem if you do that?
Is there a way to get a history of what was last unarchived?
No, unfortunately not.
Regarding a post on your Google code pages:

Has support for .warc files been removed? I'm trying to open one, have tried an older version as well, and get "Couldn't recognize the archive format."
Shouldn't have been. File an issue on the bug tracker to remind me to check into if something has gone wrong with that.
Hello
Could you add option to disable sandboxing for NON-MAS version? It's kind of annoying to deal with open folder dialogs all the time
Get the legacy version, it is not sandboxed.
Since update to mavericks unarchiver opens the preferences windows when I click on a .rar file, and it doesn't work. I have to use the menu to open the rar files. What am I doing wrong?
Is there a simple way to make unarchiver do the unpacking in the current directory (where the archive is found)? I want this most of the time and it is a pain having to navigate there manually or choose the default and then go searching for the unpacked files.
Is support for the new RAR 5.0 format planned?
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.
Thanks.
In the settings I can not select all the types of files to be processed.
And I can not select further individually types except the default.
I cannot select/deselect any archive format in the preferences dialog (I'm on Yosemite). Does anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions on how to solve this?
having the same issue as CB and Emilio
Hello.. Why can't I drag and drop folders that contain archives to The Unarchiver? I know that a folder itself isn't considered an "archive" but shouldn't it be able to just LOOK inside the folder, and then do it's task?
this software is NEAR perfect... NEAR
plz help me out here.. thanks
Apple has removed this feature from apps in the App Store. You will have to get the legacy version to use it.

The App works perfectly fine. But it will be nice if you can update the UI and icon set to match with OS X Yosemite. Many thanks to developers.
What I did to solve the selection problem, was to go to http://unarchiver.c3.cx/unarchiver and download the not App Store version.
If you run that one, you can select all the formats.
After selecting and closing the program, I threw the downloaded version in the trash, and the already installed App Store one had all the formats selected.
In short :
Doenload the standalone one, use that to select all the formats and throw it away after that.
I got strange things with The Unarchiver.
The apps works perfectlly except with iWork files. If I unzip .zip files including iWork files such as .pages .numbers .key which were zipped with OS X built in Compress, iWork cannot open the unzipped files.
iWork shows '"xxxxx.pages" can't be opened' error.
This is very strange. This happens always and only with iWork files on my Mac.
Does this happen to anybody?
>>389 Please, update The Unarchiver for Yosemite.
The Unarchiver helped me open large data files I needed for my dissertation. Don't know what I would have done without your help!
I can't open RAR files with The Unarchiver. I'm currently in OS X. I don't know what the problem is and there is no recent update. Please help :(
I can't open a lot of file types including rar and 7z files especially the ones broken into parts .001, .002, etc.
hi,
Everytime i need to open a .zip file, it opens the settings window instead.
To add to that, I cannot change the extensions that it can extract.
Since then I had to use the Archive Utility by Apple.
Please help with this.
