How can i see Rar files?

[joridi.c]

Hello,

I have a question about looking into a Rar file.

Total Commander is coupled to Winrar.exe, but when i double click on a .rar package part 1 TC won't show me all the files that are in.

I think the reason is because there are more packages, but sometimes i don't want to unpack it to see all the files which are in.

So my question is, is it possible to see all the files (from part 1 to 60) in rar package part 1 without unpacking it but just open it?

No, not with Total Commander. That for you must use Winrar.

You might use the new TotalSQX plugin by Lefteous instead RAR now; it's quite free, and all files of a multi-volume are shown in the part #1 (which is the one having the *.sqx extension)

@Vansumsen:
How much sense does it make to view RAR-Files with the SQX-Plugin?
(I dont think that this would even work...)

Hello !

- Indeed, Paul meant to create such archives, and marked his message as [½ OT]
- After all, the starter doesn't tell if there are RAR he created or that he got from some(where)(body)…

- Moreover, Paul doesn't say that RAR-parts can be open / listed with the SQX plugin, he knows very well how it works, and for which jobs it has been designed (and I too !)

There is a plugin that is able to view multi-volume RAR-archives correctly:

Thx u Very much this is what i mean .

It is usefull to check if everything is in and than i can decide to unpack it or not

Why don't they apply it standard into TC, i think lot of people miss it??

There is only one "him", not many "them".

I don't know, ghisler has refused to implement decent RAR multi-volume handlung since the last century IIRC, only he can explain.
IIRC in some antique threads he has told something about RAR-dll not supporting that but I am maybe wrong, it's too long ago...

Another solution:
1. Download unrar.exe from www.rarlab.com.
2. Tell TC where it is in Configuration > Packer > Rar packer.

Works for me

Thanks 2 Icfu
You're right. I'm really sorry

This thread is about viewing multi-volume archives so whatever works for you, it has nothing to do with the problem. Please reread the first posting.
