Or use 7zip like any sane person
But still buy winRAR for the meme
I’d buy winrar just because it has served me very well and all for free, for at least a decade even if I use mostly 7zip now. They earned that license fee
Better donate to 7zip lol
If I win the lottery they both get some.
Sharing means less for 7zip, not approved
And donate a ton of money
on windows I use peazip because I can right click context menu > extract to smart new folder - does 7zip do that? if so I'd switch back
I dont know what a smart folder is.
But you can extract to./[archive name]Depending on what you mean with "smart", when I used Windows 7zip also offered to extract into a new folder through a context menu
In this context (IIRC) smart means "if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file".
Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.
7zip doesn't work well with win11. Read somewhere that the developer refuses to do something about it, but no idea. Went with nanazip, which is derived from 7zip
Seems to. MB3 and you have Extract which does a folder name and places them in that, or Extract Here which puts all the files in your current directory
Software pirates still love it for some reason. You'd think they'd use non-proprietary archival programs.
recovery records are an essential feature for.... uh.... certain 'distribution methods' about which we are forbidden to speak of.
Or gzip like the sane linux person
or unzip your files just the normal way? why do you need a program?
Does "the normal way" support anything other that zip and rar?
well I've never encountered anything like that so...
