The Unarchiver

The Unarchiver is an LGPL licensed all format file arche uncompressing utility. It has very simple commands and it supports many formats, including rar v3. More on this subject: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/

Supported formats: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/ … tedFormats

AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47977

I've made a wishlist on the KDE bug tracker for Ark to support The Unarchiver. Please help by logging in and voting for the request:
