ABOUT
-----

 RNOArchive is a graphical archive manager, that can extract, modify, and
 create archives. Extraction is handled by the XAD system and the program has
 built-in support for writing ZIP archives. Writing to other formats relies on
 separate Shell commands, and their availability and compatibility in the used
 system.


FEATURES
--------

 - Reads and extracts all archiving formats supported by the XAD system
 - Write and modify support for ZIP and LhA archives
 - Batch extraction for multiple archives
 - Automatic sub-directory creation for batch extracted archives
 - Archive browsing and file viewing
 - Filetype editor for configuring file viewers
 - Intelligent drag & drop support
 - Recursive adding of files/directories
 - Create new directories inside archives
 - Delete files and directories
 - Handles UTF-8 filenames in archives
 - Extensive file selection options


INSTALLATION
------------

 Just copy the whole directory anywhere you want.


USAGE NOTES
-----------

 - Dragging & dropping an archive file onto the Single Archive tab opens it as
   a new archive.
 - Dragging & dropping several files onto the Single Archive tab writes the
   files immediately into the archive. It doesn't matter if files are archive
   files. Directories can be added in this way too.
 - Single or multiple files can be dropped onto the Batch Extract tab, as only
   readable archive files are added to the list.
 - If nothing is selected in the Single or Batch lists and the Extract button
   is clicked, all files will be extracted.
 - Double-clicked files are viewed according to program's filetype settings in
   the Single Archive tab. Double-clicking in the Batch Extract tab extracts
   the archive.
 - The "Create new dir(s)" option in the Batch Extract tab extracts the
   archives into new sub-directories. For example, contents of "test.lha" would
   be extracted into a new "test.lha_ext/" directory.


SETTINGS
--------

 Program settings can be found in the program's pull-down menu and they will be
 saved to the ENVARC:Hollywood/com.wmhost.jpv.rnoarchive file.


COMMAND LINE OPTIONS AND ICON TOOLTYPES
---------------------------------------

 RNOArchive uses non-standard command line arguments. Arguments must be given
 in the form of (note the "-" prefix): -argument parameter

 Format:
  RNOArchive [file] [arguments]

 Arguments:
  -single . . . . - Opens the file as a single archive (default).
  -batch  . . . . - Adds the file to the batch extract list.
  -batchlist  . . - Adds files from a text file to the batch extract list.
  -new  . . . . . - Opens file(s) in a new instance of the program.
  -forcearos  . . - Assumes that the "unix version" of the LhA command is
                    available and disables error checking with LhA operations.
                    This is only useful on AROS. Use only at your own risk!
  -dest <dir> . . - Sets the default destination directory
  -source <dir> . - Sets the default source directory

 Examples:
  RNOArchive ram:test.lha -batch -new -dest=Work:
  RNOArchive batchlist.txt -batchlist

 The same arguments can be used as icon tooltypes, but by omitting the
 "-" prefix.

 Examples:
  DEST=RAM:
  SOURCE=Work:Downloads

 Program's ARexx port is RNOARCHIVE.n (where n is 1, 2, 3, etc.) and supported
 commands are:

 SINGLE . . . . . - Opens the file as a single archive (default)
 BATCH  . . . . . - Adds the file to the batch extract list
 BATCHLIST  . . . - Adds files from a text file to the batch extract list

Hi! May I include it into Icaros Desktop?

[Amiwell]

yes Paolone all distribution the work is for the comunity

[Amiwell]

now is uploading on aminet and archives

[AMIGASYSTEM]

There are some problems on "RNOArchive" both on OS3 and AROS x86, with RAR Archives there are problems on RAM while on "tar.bz2" archives from unpacking you get a strange file named "unnamed.dat".

I reported the problems to jPV HERE, on the same forum some users complained of another problem that is a request with error "Failat Returncode 10".

For this error I have found is caused by command "Which"

RNOArchive on OS3 supports all known formats while on AROS x86 not all archive are supported this is due to the XAD libraries that on OS3 are more advanced

[Amiwell]

I could not fully test the JPV program will answer you and will surely make changes, then you are on Aros there are limits on some types of archives, in the other platforms no, we realized after this thing, but we proceeded the same with Development, I use RNOArchive and is very rare that you use unrecognized archives

[AMIGASYSTEM]

jPV confirmed the problems I reported on tar.bz2 and said it will be fixed with the next XAD plugin.

For RAR Archives he said it's a problem with XAD libraries on all platforms, but I mentioned to him that XAD libraries work fine on Dopus4 on all platforms.

I also told him that RNOArchive works fine on AROS 68k and seems to have no problem unpacking RAR archives.

---------- Italiano ----------


jPV ha confermato i problemi da me segnalati sul tar.bz2 ed ha detto che verrā corretto con ilprossimo plugin XAD.

Per gli Archivi RAR ha detto che č un problema delle librerie XAD su tutte le piattaforme, ma io gli ho accennato che le librerie XAD funzionano bene su Dopus4 su tutte le piattaforme.

Inoltre gli ho detto anche che RNOArchive funziona bene su AROS 68k e sembra che non ha alcun problema a scompattare gli archivi RAR.

[Amiwell]

It seems to me that JPV has reason with regard to RAR files except Aros X86 on all other platforms works

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Read well what JPV answered me in the attached link, he said that "XAD RAR seem to be buggy on every platform"

----- Italiano --------

Leggi bene quello JPV mi ha risposto nel link allegato, ha detto che "XAD RAR sembrano essere bacati su ogni piattaforma"

[Amiwell]

I don't understand why to point your finger on the efforts to do for the community, we started the project and then we realized some limitations derived from the plugins, the program is at least twenty times faster to unpack zunearc files, if any archive does not You can unpack with it you can always use the latter or walk other roads with Dopus4 and 5

Greatings

further update

Added the creation of Lha Archives, a bug of the program is corrected when you create an archive in a traditional way containing directories that files, the Drag & Drop function has always worked well

https://jpv.amigaaa.com/RNOArchive/beta/RNOArchive_AROS_beta.lha

[jPV]

I released the public v1.1 update:

 - Fixed an issue with directory extraction, which could lead to extraction of
   unselected files
 - The progress bar is updated when unarchiving single dirs or full archives
 - Added a work-around for adding whole directories without selecting anything
 - Fixed an ARexx port issue
 - Other minor fixes

It's been uploaded to The AROS Archives and Aminet today.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Thanks jPV, I will test RNOArchive on my AROS One as soon as possible.

When will there be an official release of RNOTunes?

I ask this because I would like to include it in my new version of AROS One x86 v1.8, thank you !

[jPV]

When will there be an official release of RNOTunes?

As soon as we get an Hollywood plugin update which I've been waiting for. I have everything ready for the release and will release it immediately when Andreas releases the update. I was hoping to get it already couple of weeks ago, but there seems to be a delay... I'm wishing it happening in the near future anyway.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Ok thank you !
