Windows 11 users can now manage RAR archives natively, with no need for third-party software or questionable archive "unpackers." Windows 11 22H2, the past year's last major...
Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library::undefined
Literally the reason why 7 zip is the first thing I install on a windows machine.
All the linux file managers I use have that context menu built in, so nothing else to install 😅 except that I also sometimes use 7zip file manager via WINE because I like a GUI
I only see the “Extract All…” option which has been there for years and isn’t what I want. If it just proceeded with the extraction and didn’t pop up a window asking where to put it then we’d be in business, but as currently implemented it’s an additional interaction to do the same thing.
I don’t use the interface, that’s the thing. I just use the contextual menu - which is more than enough to operate it easily. If the windows version of it had the same, then I wouldn’t mind at all.
Still gonna use 7zip, the default Windows packing/unpacking interface is atrocious.
Honestly though if they just added “extract to {archivename}\” as a right click option it would cover more than 90% of my usage.
I love KDE’s “extract here, autodetect folder” feature for compressed files

Ditto.
Have you used Windows recently? This option currently exists as a right-click option in Windows 11.

Check out NanaZip
Fun fact “nana” means 7 in Japanese.
I didn’t know that. Interesting spin
Its what i use now its really nice
Which is an incredible effort, very few software have an interface more atrocious than 7zip.
The UI is the main reason I actually paid for a WinRAR license.

Fair point.
