And now we have "Create Archive" or "Compress" right in the Finder.
Unrarx osx mac os x#
If you're really interested in poking around inside an archive without decompressing it, great.īut the vast majority of compression that I do, (and, as far as I can tell, a wide swath of people do) is to simply point at something and demand "Make it smaller!" Well, with the advent of Mac OS X there was the proliferation of a wide array of free Unix tools to do exactly that. And the interface _inside_ Stuffit Deluxe seems great. I've paid the $79 just to get the menus back to working before.

With the transfer to PPC, the "free version" stopped being the best decoder available - because you had to purchase a "Power Plug" extension for a natively coded decoder. sit files would send you to the timed-out demo, instead of the "Free Decoder!") And the trial version would time out - and leave cruft. There were pages with banners like "Download our FREE DECODER now!" - where the links were to the _trial_ version of the full deal. But (historically) it was difficult to track down _just_ the free decoder. Trials/Demos of "Stuffit Deluxe! $79! Buy Today!" installing things all over the place with no uninstall (menu bars, contextual menus, desktop shortcuts, extensions (think kernel hacks), control panels, assigning itself as "The Owner" of a ridiculous number of filetypes.) then the trial would expire and the cruft is still hanging out. Currently, it is (for me) just: "So, why would I want to use something that isn't open/free, isn't based on an open/free format, and isn't pre-installed as an archiver?" I've never had trouble with Stuffit personally, can anyone give me some reasons it has such a bad rep?Ī lot of the 'rep' is ancient news. I suspect the archives I keep getting are compressed by one of these methods. The official, command-line RAR extracts them fine. The Unarchiver asks for a password but fails with, "Could not extract the file 'test.txt': Command is not supported." It spits out a zero byte file. The next test I used the p switch (set password).
The Unarchiver (the only extractor I have) fails with, "The contents of the file 'test.rar' can not be extracted with this program." It doesn't even ask for a password. I created a RAR archive using the official, command-line RAR program.įirst test I used the hp switch (encrypt both file data and headers). And I download a pretty good quantity of rar'd files from the place you don't talk about. though to be honest, i haven't had trouble with any Rars with the unarchiver - password protected, multipart, etc.
Unrarx osx install#
Yeah, I'd install unRarX a million times before i'd let Stuffit on my system.
