This is a servicemenu which allows integration with WinRar via Wine.
Requirements:
* Kde 3.5.x+konqueror OR kde4+dolphin
* Wine (tested with 0.9.46)
* Winrar installed under "c:program fileswinrarwinrar.exe" (Tested with winrar version 3.71)
Installation
KDE4:
Copy winerar_kde4.desktop file to ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
KDE3:
Copy winerar_kde3.desktop file to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
Usage
Right Click on a bunch of files and go to the submenu "WineRar"
ToDo
* Support for extracting multivolume archives (by now, you'll have to select the second volume (simply go up one level) as winrar didn't find by himself)
* More Translations
* Ideas?

- it supports rar decompression via the free (as in speech and beer) unrar tool (including pwd ecrypted RARs you little RS abusers ;-)
- there's a linux RAR compression tool, but it's neither free in speech nor beer (but shareware)
NOW, THIS IS IMPORTANT:
since the lzma patent ran out, you can freely and legally use this compression (xz tools in your distro)
For ANYTHING (except some media types like wav where RAR uses specialized algorithms - flac is however still superior and the free "FreeArc" uses similar techniques and easily outperforms WinRar by this...) LZMA BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF RAR!
Conclusions:
- if you want to decompress RAR, there's no problem and no need for WinRAR at all
- If you want to compress as RAR... no wait: YOU DO NOT WANT AT ALL.
DO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION, DO NOT USE WINRAR. There is NO NEED AT ALL.
If there's any trouble with rar decompression & ark or unrar, fix ark or unrar.

so in case:
"sorry antonio, i didn't mean to offend you or your efforts" - though i probably did... :(
however, there is no wrong statement in the above
- compression is simply not "required" (there's "better") and should rather not be encouraged (for legal reasons)
- decompression works "out of the box" and w/o any CLI invocation (just tested, no idea where one could have spotted any problem)
so while there're certainly valid usecases for wine, WinRAR is simply not.

The command-line fast, useful and usually provides more functions than their GUI-pendants. The sooner one will use it, the better.

1. winrar IS COMERCIAL and for mustdie (as a result - it is unstable).
2. Using wine we get ONLY less compress / decompress speed and nothing more.
3. People who wants work under linux must use *nix utilities. Only in that way they will understand (at last) why linux is much better then Windows.

"1. winrar IS COMERCIAL and for mustdie (as a result - it is unstable)."
Well being a commercial application doesn't necessary make it "unstable" only not trustworthy :D and I don't see any purpose for it to "Die" LOL
"2. Using wine we get ONLY less compress / decompress speed and nothing more."
True :D
"3. People who wants work under linux must use *nix utilities. Only in that way they will understand (at last) why linux is much better then Windows."
Well isn't there a port of WinRAR to Linux system? (there is for "unRAR" atleast)
the RAR format is so/so :D gunzip tarballs are just fine for most needs :D for those things that need extra compression Then I use 7za :D or lzma :D.
Best quote :D "linux is much better then Windows." hehe Nice
I personally don't see why one would run a "commercial" or "Shareware" application under a non-commercail and a Free OS???

False, wine does not Emulate, it "wraps" windows libraries to a set of linux ones written to replace the originals.
In some cases wine has also proven to be faster.
So you get the same speed by running it natively under windows.
