anyone who still distributes anything compressed with winrar, please just fucking stop
use it for your personal archival purposes if you must, but please just fucking stop using it to share or distribute anything publicly. there's zero reason to use .rar over 7z or zip or tgz or any other open standard
Hey outlook, can you save all 15 attachments to this folder? The 15 attachments I can view in outlook? The 15 attachments that drag and drop out of the email into a folder as expected? The 15 attachments that I can individually save as expected to a folder?
"best I can do is a zip file for the whole batch"
Because it is a web browser underneath
I hate no Outlook. Half the time when your drag n drop it fails to save.
Edit - clearly I mean new outlook. I would love no outlook.
Does it matter when 7zip handles rar anyways?
isn't unrar open source?
You would think so, but it's not.
From the Fedora wiki:
I don't care.
