all desktop software with trials that cost a one-time purchase between $15-$150, aka, 'shareware', is usually pretty great. open source projects usually can't afford designers, and even if they can because they're a full company or foundation, usually doesn't have the design culture and priorities you need for great UI. the exceptions are rare and spectacular, like blender. the fact that linux lacks a shareware scene is in my mind the primary reason it never gained traction as a desktop os.

upgrade to winrar if you install demo winrar you can still use all worthwhile functionality from the right click explorer menu without having to deal with the quite reasonable “buy winrar” button the two functions that are worthwhile consist of unpack contents in this very folder or unpack content into a specific folder what else do you want ??? you never need to make an archive any more, who’s actually packing poo poo these days? echinopsis fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Mar 22, 2022 |

the only thing no one seems to have solved is to normalise unpacking a zip so if it’s loose files they go into a folder but if it’s a folder first it just dumps it as it is

One opens archives, and one launches the file-manager. Probably the wrong one is set as the default file handler for zips. I've set that wrong a bunch of times over the years by mistake.

7zip has choked on some disk image files which winrar took in its stride i can’t have a program that works most of the time, and it’s not like by using 7zip you’re helping out some poor child or whatever. just use the tool that works

imagine downloading a disk image file and you try to open it and copy out the contents but your program can’t copy them out successfully, so you think the archive is broken so you give up on the endeavour this happened enough times that I wondered maybe winrar could open them? and it did, and it worked flawlessly by using 7zip I had played myself

I think we can all agree that what is important here is that 7zip is an inferior choice for trying to open an .iso file

happy we've gone into the "no one actually needs that functionality you idiot" phase of the defense of free software, have we figured out whether we're going into "works for me" with a time-wasting advice ("just build it from git!") next, or do we go straight to "i installed it on my grandmas computer and she loves it"?

my 2 cents on the subject is that programmers and such are far more likely to think that free software is good because most of the free stuff is targeted at us, but generally i dont see a clear divide elsewhere. One thing i will mention is that large open source projects like Krita and LinuxCNC and whatever are generally copies of successful software. Weirdly, open source software doesn't seem to be super innovative wrt that sort of thing.
