MacRAR 1.2

MacRAR 1.2

Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple: open the DMG, drag MacRAR to Applications, done.

Fixed

• Archives created without a password were encrypted. RAR archives created or extended by MacRAR 1.0/1.1 without entering a password were silently encrypted because rar interprets the -p- switch (meant for unrar) as the password "-". If you have such an archive, open it with the password - (a single hyphen) or re-create it with 1.2. ZIP and 7z archives were never affected.

New

• Update check: MacRAR looks at GitHub Releases once a day and offers to download a newer version; MacRAR → Check for Updates… does it on demand. The check is anonymous and sends nothing but the request.

Highlights

• Browse, extract, test, create and edit RAR, 7z, ZIP, TAR and 30+ other formats (RARLAB unrar/rar + 7-Zip 7zz bundled).
• Encrypted archives (RAR, 7z, ZIP/AES), multi-volume sets, drag-to-Finder extraction, progress window with ETA.
• Finder context-menu entries, English and Turkish interface following the system language.

Requirements: macOS 13+, Apple Silicon. Creating RAR archives needs a WinRAR licence (bundled rar is the trial); everything else is free.
