Winrar 5.00 archive#

When unpacking RAR and ZIP archive formats. Since nothing is extracted to folder containing an archiveī) WinRAR could overwrite files with read-only attribute only When running an executable from archive stored in UAC protectedįolder. In most cases volume size equals to specified by user.Ī) WinRAR 5.20 issued unnecessary user account control (UAC) prompt, Smaller than requested size sometimes, such situation is less While previous versions could produce RAR5 volumes of slightly Winrar.ini will be copied to WinRAR program folder after completingģ. If winrar.ini file is present in the same folder as WinRAR installer, 'Drag and drop context menu' options in 'Settings/Integration/Ĭontext menu items' dialog allow to disable WinRAR archivingĪnd extraction commands in context menu displayed after draggingĪnd dropping files with right mouse button.Ģ. WinRAR - What's new in the latest versionġ. In the end I would rather live with 7-zip + winrar 4.0 than i would with 7-zip + winrar 5.0 with no 4.0 support. However compression time can be a bit to long Most of these improvement are not bad that are just not useful for ME so as i stated above winrar5.0 is pretty useless for MY compression work I just need good compression rate with fast decompressionĪnd if im insane enough using m7repacker makes winrar 4.0 useless as well as its even beat out winrar 4.0 multimedia compression of all the files I've done so far. so useless feature for meĨ: Multithreaded decompression iwas not aware off and might actually be beneficial as decompression time is important for meġ0: seems nice but only for a compression viewpoint for me and then its when winrar fall short again vs 7-zipġ1: haven't had any issues with my file names dont even know if 7-zip store i UTF-8 or not. blake2sp might be better but doe i really wanted to compress my stuff twice just for see if i can get better checksum/*hash or just live with crc32+md5 comboħ: i very rarely open my archive without needing all of it anyway. maybe winrar implementation is better/fast/more secure i wouldn't know cause i don't really encrypt my file as, what i compress is not going anywhere or it not really worth to encrypt.ģ: if i wanted recovery record i would use par but mostly i don't really use recovery recordsĥ: better time stamp handling seems nice but defiantly not something that would make a difference for me.Ħ: Blake2sp does sounds nice u do however use md5 checksums. i dont really think 128 is to little, and again 7-zip has 256bit AES as well. but does it really matter AES 128 vs 256.

So sacrifice something you are good it to be mediocre in something else is no making it useful for me.Ģ: AES 256 yes its a nice upgrade yes. However old winrar4.0 could beat 7-zip when winrar could utilize its 'multimedia' compression. 'winrar has lost everything for ME'ġ: big dictionary size is pretty meh tome as it have yet to see winrar 5 outperform 7-zip in compression ratio in this areas ( i did stop comparing pretty quickly though) Its very important oyou remember my starting post. Its available in GUI too, but only in console version you can define the minimum file size threshold to make the deduplication more efficient. File names and comments are stored in UTF-8 format.Īnd don't forget about console version which is the bright example of 'how the console archiver should be implemented'.Īlso, not so obvious but very handy function of console RAR is the possibility to act as per-file-deduplicator with 'Save identical files as references' option.

Possibility to store second and following copies of identical files as references to first copy of such file.

Support for NTFS reparse points, symbolic links, hard links.

Its speed benefit is more noticeable on large files with poorly compressible data or with BLAKE2 checksums. Multithreading support in decompression algorithm.Optional quick open information can be added to archive to provide a faster access to archive contents.So BLAKE2 can be used for file identification purpose. Unlike CRC32 checksum, it is practically impossible for BLAKE2 to have two different files with the same checksum value. Optional BLAKE2sp checksums for file data.File times stored as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) instead of RAR 4.x local time, making file exchange among several time zones more straightforward.Maximum number of RAR+REV volumes in RAR 5.0 is 65535 instead of 255. Recovery record using Reed-Solomon error correction codes with much higher resistance to multiple damages comparing to RAR 4.x recovery record.Encryption based on AES-256 algorithm, which is theoretically stronger than RAR 4.x AES-128.When compressing big files, especially in solid mode, larger dictionary frequently allows to achieve a higher compression ratio. Compression dictionary size up to 1 GB.
