Please add .RAR files to attachments !
 

Can you please add .rar files to the attachments ?
It's so annoying that I have to go dl winzip and install it with all it's spyware just so I can attach a mod or styles folder to the site :( :down:

thank you

I haven't been on Windows in a while, but can't you just right click -> Send To -> Zip ?

I'm pretty sure windows does .zip handling on its own, if not there are other zip programs then winzip.

Give http://www.7-zip.org/ a try.

When you create an archive in WinRAR, you can choose to create it as a ZIP file as well. Just run the program, select your files and click "add". On the Create Archive screen, you simply choose ZIP as your archive format.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle :eek:

Thanks Wayne :cool: I've been using winzip for years, and just recently started using winrar as my only compressing tool. I've never looked at the options, just always right clicked and saved as a .rar.

Yes Danny, that works as well :)

Look, I learned two things today...lol

thanks guys

Is there a reason why rar isn't in the attachments tho ? I like the little books..lol

:) well WinRAR is not a standard. (yet mahahaha)
- I have used it since there was only a command line version.

Nothing supports it natively that I know of.
I know Windows XP + has native "zip" support.

Zip is a standard that works for everyone, so we prefer to stick to that.

Recently switched over to it...haven't looked back since. ;)

Yeah, I prefer .rar to .zip, but obviously one is supported a lot more than the other. :)

Can't most RAR apps open ZIP files also?

Mine can.
