Unar VS Engrampa

8- The Unarchiver provides amazing free and open source backend for known archiving software like File Roller. Source: about 1 year ago

You're also missing out using The Unarchiver(sudo apt install unar) as backend for your file manager/archiver, so that you can extract virtually any archive from your file manager. Source: about 1 year ago

There is open source support for RAR in unar: https://theunarchiver.com/command-line. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Unar automatically creates a directory named after the archive if it contains more than one top-level entry, and always with the -d option. Source: about 2 years ago

Also when finally having the adf files on the PC/Mac/Linux, unar can be used to extract it in the same way as a zip file: https://theunarchiver.com/command-line. Source: over 2 years ago

The p7zip port of 7-Zip is several releases behind and the project seems to be abandoned. I discovered this when a large archive failed to extract with Engrampa which uses it. It reported a "Headers Error" which is due to a compatibility problem between zip format implementations. 7-Zip has a fix but the port doesn't. But there's a fork on GitHub which is being actively maintained. Check it out. Source: about 2 years ago

I use Engrampa. Which archive format I use depends on the use case. For example, if Windows users are involved, I usually use Rar archives. Under Linux, I usually use tar.xz. Source: about 3 years ago
