There are still issues, is not like having a lib so i have to make a wrapper that unrar the files into a temp directory then i have to add the files from that dir to the list.
I would have to unrar files before the real processing (cause i need them for preview ecc...), and then remove the files recursively on app closing, this is a really unclean implementation of the thing. Then there are also other issues.
With zip I can read the file directly from the archive so is like having the file in a directory
And last I don't think that there is an advantage on compressing a jpg/png files with rar rather than zip.
This does not mean I will never add rar support just that I have other priorities ^_^', like recursive dir exploring, multithread processing, better image resizing, support for more devices and output formats.
Eventually I'll release the code as open source so anyone will be able to add features like that if they want.
BTW maybe this post should be moved into the format conversion tool forum.
Bye
