Archivator RAR and WinRAR

In "Configuration"/"Archivators".
Can you replace string "rar.exe" to "winrar.exe"? Dos-version of RAR is exotic now.
Or, for example, directly open directory "%systemroot%/program files/winrar/" if user press ">>" in RAR section.

Here is what I have in mine:
C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe -m5
Default string

bbutcher means probably the
default string when not any real RAR soft is stated in the
Packer page of the Options…
- Some users are still using RAR.EXE (console), so I would split the difference as :
[ RAR.EXE ¦ WinRar.exe ] [>>]
- Or use
- none-, or leave it blank…

2Clo,
WinRAR is not freeware, whereas rar.exe is, that would not really be possible.

It doesn't matter - neither of them are shipped with TC - it is not illegal to propose a non-freware program in a link.

I was not meaning it was illegal. Just inadvisable. My wording was off.

Again…

• I don't get your point… The [
>>] button stands to browse for a RAR¦Winrar already installed in the PC, not to download it…
- I agree that the default string at first use is rather obsolete, but currently TC doesn't look for an eventual RAR¦WinRar
like
bbutcher suggests above, so IMHO that string might be quite neuter.
- Also, replacing the ugly [>>] buttons with the magnifying glass pattern and¦or add an info-text when hovering them could help…

2Clo,
I misunderstood what he was saying then. Sorry for the confusion.

Are you sure? I'm not aware of a freeware rar.exe (only
unrar.exe or the Linux version).

No free un sight

Hello !
{OT}
• I get on your train : I didn't see a free RAR.EXE @ RarLabs (yesterday), the only one is a
Pocket version, but no mention telling that it's free…
- I don't hold any Pocket PC, so didn't look further…

I thought there was a freeware version of the command line rar.exe. My bad if there is not. I have always been registered.

If you don`t like rar.exe, you can replace it by winrar.exe yourself. And please don`t get mixed up the DOS version of WinRAR (which was dead a long time ago) and the console application rar.exe, which is not "exotic" and is a part of WinRAR distribution.
