This is my first app in Mac App Store and I hope not the last.
When I started work on SmartRAR the idea was to develop app that has functionality of winrar when it comes to rar unarchiving.
SmartRAR can handle all types of rar archives, encrypted, password protected, multivolume, self-extracting (SFX)... Basically it can do everything that other unarchivers can do, but has some additional advantages:
- You can browse archive content in outline view without the need to extract files. Also you can extract only files that you need.
- SmartRAR has full support for multivolume archives. Similar to winrar you can browse file system for missing volumes. Archive parts doesn't need to be in same folder or even doesn't have to be same name.
- One feature of winrar that I really missed on Mac is "keep broken files". Sometimes you want to preview some file without need to download all parts of archive. Now you can enable "keep broken files" during extraction and extract only part of the file for previewing.
- Archive comments. It is not uncommon for rar archives to have comments embedded in them. Usually people put additional informations in comments, even passwords for password protected archives. SmartRAR detects comments and automatically shows view with comments.
- SmartRAR can open and extract even self extracting rar archives (SFX archives - exe extension) archives.
- SmartRAR is build using official unrar library, and that is the reason why SmartRAR will always have maximal compatibility with winrar and rar archives.
SmartRAR is already available at Mac App Store, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smartrar/id437083887?mt=12. You can see screenshots there, and also on this link: http://www.smartrar.co.cc/index.php?slab=support you have tutorial on how to use SmartRAR and see all of functionality of SmartRAR.
Tell me what do you think. If you have any suggestion, question, comment please feel free to post it I will check this thread on regular basis and respond. Also you can contact me through PM or through contact form on product page: http://www.smartrar.co.cc/index.php?slab=contact.
