7-zip is one of the first apps I install on a new machine.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=7zipI have been using WinRar but am getting tired of it. If someone could PM me with a link to 7zip, I would be glad to give it a shot.
In the time it took you to type this post, you could have googled 7zip and had it halfway downloaded.I have been using WinRar but am getting tired of it. If someone could PM me with a link to 7zip, I would be glad to give it a shot.
He doesn't really want it, or care.In the time it took you to type this post, you could have googled 7zip and had it halfway downloaded.
WinRAR does that "Extract to..." and all the variations of that concept thing just fine too, you know.
Yeah, I knowReally though, I know other products have Explorer integration but...
Yeah, I know
I suppose the advice that it's personal preference does hold water, but I also look at the overwhelming amount of responces for 7-Zip. That holds water too.
Wow, Major thread necromancy
Because using par2 yourself is very hardYou can use "recovery records" in WinRAR, and they function like internal PAR files. You can also perform "repair" functions. Those are the only two things that sell me on it. And, they are really important. For critical files, having those two options is necessary. 7Zip does not offer those protections.
WinRAR sucks. It's like one of the most overrated softwares ever. Every noob uses it and complains why they can't extract everything.
You can't even use WinRAR to extract archive compressed with LZMA method.
Just try it yourself, like I did.
Format Zip, method LZMA, compression ultra - unextractable by WinRAR.
I just loaded PeaZip and tried it. It's not a bad program. However, it's not as polished as WinRAR either. I couldn't get its context menus to work. There was a listing for PeaZip but no context flyouts. I also couldn't find a way to add a context menu for using the arc format only, which is what I'd be interested in for recovery record purposes. o its benefit, you can use .arc format and you get to choose to add recovery records, but it doesn't allow you to add more or less. It's a static offering.
Whether or not it is hard is not the point. RAR has it, while 7zip does not. Not only that, but when you compress hundreds of emailed filed a month, having to include par files every time you open and add a file is nonsense.
