Request: Let us unpack rars with 7zip as well

[xathian]

As it stands, we're forced to have Winrar installed for the software to auto-unpack .rar files, if it already supports 7zip for .7z files can we not just have it also use 7zip for rars?

@xathian you are not forced to have Winrar installed. You only need unrar binary.
Unrar is freeware software and it has source code publicly available.
Look on this site: https://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm

• unrar for windows: https://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarw32.exe
• unrar souce code: https://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrarsrc-5.9.4.tar.gz

I use unrar for rar files because it has better decompression speed than 7zip in my humble opinion.

Anyway, I added new functionality to the develop branch: cb18aa1
