Winrar Archiver Review and License Key Giveaway - Discussion

[corker]

Hmm.... no shortcoming at all?
Let me list them for you then.

• I used to long WinRAR to have internal previewer like those on PowerArchiver. Internal previewer allows us to browse files inside the archive and threat them just like a regular folder, without prior extraction. It would be great if I could do this with WinRAR too but I think it is unlikely to happen. It seems WinRAR is aimed to excel on every essential aspects of file compression yet remains minimum in size. Throwing internal previewer into WinRAR will boost its size like I have seen in other previewer-enabled-compression tools and none of them has size less than 3 MB.
• We can't seem to distinguish whether a file is RAR or ZIP by looking only from its associated WinRAR icon.
• Other cons (but rather insignificant) are its lack of toolbar navigation buttons on file manager mode and support for several less popular archive formats.
