The silent CMD when using rar compression

[yuyuxuan]

The fact is that when I compress thousands of folders, the CMD window just pop up and down. Therefore, I cannot do anything but wait. Is there any settings for cancelling the windows. Asking for help.

Try to use WinRar.exe as external RAR packer, you will get standard WinRar pack dialog instead of console window.

As user MVV has written, please use winrar.exe instead of rar.exe. You can set this in menu
Configuration - Options - Packer

TC will show "Files are being packed, please wait..."

And then please press <Background> button.

Ok, I change into "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe". But things don't change essentially. It pops up and down the GUI every folder even if I press the "background" button.

yuyuxuan,
You could perhaps try to add the -ibck switch.

Thank you. You means it changes into "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe -ibck", doesn't it? Then I got the answer. Thanks again.

No, you need to put double quotes around the program because there are spaces in the path:
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" -ibck

I found both could be run successfully.

• C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe -ibck
  "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" -ibck

But as you say, the second must be good because of the rule.
