Version 3.90 beta 5

1. Bugs fixed:

a) "Convert" command could fail if original and resulting archives
were multivolume and name of original archive included DBCS
(Chinese, Japanese or Korean) characters;

b) WinRAR did not add "Extract to folder" item to Windows context
menus for ZIP archives if Windows Compressed Folders was active.

I used to use WinRAR until I found out about 7-zip

#1.1 ThaCrip on 22 Jul 2009 - 10:09

i pretty much agree with this statement.

it's just a shame that 7-zip aint the standard and i think in some ways WinRAR is more polished but considering 7-zip is FREE and works pretty well i think people should switch to it for the most part.

#1.6 Magallanes on 22 Jul 2009 - 15:07

but 7-zip is so damn slow.

#1.7 Jugalator on 24 Jul 2009 - 08:53

I find 7-zip's lack of RAR features disturbing.

Maybe I'm a bit late, but since when WinRAR is available in 64-bit?

... and +1 for 7-Zip!

Let me fix that, since 3.90 Beta 1.

So you corrected him to sat the same thing he said? :|

As 3.90 Beta 1 would be the first 3.90 release and it will be also included in 3.90 GA so he wasn't wrong in anything he said...

I still use WinRAR over 7-zip because it's much faster, has equal or better compression than LZMA in most scenarios, integrates better with Windows explorer, and isn't butt-ugly.

#4.1 ]SK[ on 22 Jul 2009 - 12:16

Whilst I can't help feel this comment is a girly response, I agree its ugly and looks like typical open source software.

#4.2 ZeroHour on 22 Jul 2009 - 12:16

+1 for booger, its what your used to that counts tbh and what works for you. I dont think he is saying 7zip is crap, he just prefers winrar for those reasons.

I agree, but I still choose to use 7-zip. I cannot justify 30 dollars for Winrar, a program I would not use every day.

x32? Didn't you mean x86?

Aren't they both really x86 anyway?

Yeap. "X64" is really x86 (32bit) with 64bit extentions added to allow larger RAM addressing and some computational enhancements. It isn't a true 64bit CPU like an Intel Itanium is.

#6 Xenomorph on 22 Jul 2009 - 13:44

I could never figure out what 7-Zip does better, and the interface is just plain ugly. I already paid for WinRAR and have my key. I haven't had any issues with it.

So why switch?

Even for clients, I usually just download and install IZArc for them. It's free, and has a WinZip-style interface. They're usually quite happy with it.

#7 +Harlem39s Finest on 22 Jul 2009 - 17:09

winrar ftw.

Neeeh, I'll stay with WinRAR for a while. BTW, Whar're the real advantages of X64 over X86 in this case?

#8.1 KavazovAngel on 23 Jul 2009 - 03:58

Faster compression and extraction of files, most likely (just to name a thing).

#9 NCalliari on 22 Jul 2009 - 22:45

WinRAR is more polished and faster of the two.

#10 Breach on 23 Jul 2009 - 18:16

Uh, 3.80 is now what, 3 years old?

#11 b1kshad0w on 26 Jul 2009 - 19:35

I'll stick with winrar. Of course I have a key, if I didn't I might use it.
