@Supergirl,

Yes, are correct. Engrampa is a graphical user interface (GUI) based archive manager for managing compressed files on Linux, and it supports various archive formats, including ZIP and RAR.

@Sing,

To unrar a .rar file by displaying the percentage status of the extraction without listing all filenames, you can use the -inul (stands for “no list”) option along with the -p option to specify the password if the file is encrypted.

unrar x -pYourPassword -inul archive_name.rar

@Vini,

Many people use WinRAR, and it has been a popular compression tool for Windows users for many years.

While 7-Zip is also a widely used compression tool, but does have some differences as compared to WinRAR, including the behavior you’ve noted regarding updating existing archives. Users often choose between these tools based on their specific requirements.

Ultimately, the choice between WinRAR and 7-Zip depends on individual preferences and the specific needs of the user.

@NeophobiA,

Your attempt to create a RAR archive with specified options looks quite close! However, there’s a small adjustment needed in the placement of the comment file option.

rar a -v2048M -vn -m5 -z"/Location/of/comment/file/COMMENT.txt" archivename.rar DirectorNameOfSourceFiles

@Max,

To extract multiple RAR files into a single or specific directory, you can use the unrar command with wildcards to match the file names.

unrar x '*.rar' /path/to/destination
