winrar-5.0-descargar.png
WinRAR es uno de los mejores compresores de ficheros. Todo un histrico dentro del
mundo del software que ha sabido renovarse y crecer adaptndose a las nuevas nece
sidades.
WinRAR crea y descomprime archivos en los formatos ms populares (ZIP y RAR) y tam
bin es capaz de descomprimir archivos creados en otros formatos, con lo que si ti
enes WinRAR instalado no necesitars ningn otro descompresor.
Para tu comodidad, WinRAR se integra perfectamente en el Explorador de Windows.
En l aparecern varias opciones para que puedas usar WinRaR con mayor comodidad.
WinRAR no se centra en un nico formato ni se estanca en los que ya tiene, sino qu
e aade nuevos formatos versin tras versin. Tambin aade mejoras importantes, como el u
so de los nuevos procesadores de doble ncleo en los clculos de compresin y descompr
esin.
Definitivamente, por velocidad, flexibilidad, y efectividad, WinRAR es un firme
candidato para convertirse en el compresor de archivos imprescindible.
*Cambios:
1. If Windows User Account Control prevents extracting or archiving commands to
create files in system protected folders, WinRAR attempts to start its another c
opy with administrator privileges to complete the operation. It is necessary to
confirm privileges elevation in response to User Account Control prompt to allow
such second WinRAR copy to run.
2. You can drag files in Explorer with right mouse button, drop them to some fol
der and select WinRAR archiving commands in context menu to create an archive wi
th these files in the destination folder.
3. It is possible to use WinRAR.ini file instead of Registry to store WinRAR set
tings. You may prefer such approach if you plan to install WinRAR to removable m
edia, such as USB flash drive, and then run it on different computers.
See WinRAR.ini file topic in Configuration settings chapter of WinRAR help for detai
ls.
4. Added extraction support for ZIP and ZIPX archives using XZ compression algor
ithm.
5. If ZIP or ZIPX archive contains any compression algorithms except usual Store o
r Deflate , algorithm names are displayed in Version to extract field of archive info
rmation dialog. Algorithms with names unknown to WinRAR will be assigned m<num> na
me, where num is a compression algorithm numeric identifier.
6. Open with WinRAR command is available in Windows context menus for archive form
ats supported by WinRAR. It can be turned off with Open with WinRAR (for usual ar
chives) option in WinRAR Settings/Integration/Context menu items dialog.

7. Command line RAR can read the default set of switches from rar.ini file store
d in RAR program folder. Previously it was possible to define only the same set
of switches for all RAR command with switches=<switches> string. Now rar.ini also
allows to specify separate switch sets for individual RAR commands using the fol
lowing syntax:
switches_<command>=<any RAR switches, separated by spaces>
For example:
switches_a=-m5 -s
switches_x=-o+
8. Command ch supports switches -tl, -cu, -cl also for ZIP archives. Previously
llowed these switches only for RAR archive format.

9. For archive formats lacking file time information, such as .bz2, .xz and .Z,
WinRAR sets container archive modification time to extracted files. It does not
apply to tar.bz2, tar.xz and tar.Z, which use file time stored in tar headers.
10. Keep broken files extraction option is supported for bzip2 archives.
11. WinRAR icon in Windows context menus is scaled up correctly in high DPI scre
en modes such as 150% or 200% of normal text size.
12. It is possible to disable WinRAR Benchmark command with Benchmark variable of HK
EY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\PolicyRegistry key. In multi-user environment Ben
chmark command might abuse shared computational resources. See Registry variables t
opic in Configuration settings chapter of WinRAR help for more details.
13. Additionally to sfxcmd variable containing the entire command line, SFX module
sets sfxpar variable containing command line parameters only, without leading SFX
module name. These variables are set before starting a program specified in Setu
p command.
14. File overwrite prompt in console RAR displays the size and modification time
for existing and new files.
15. When archiving from stdin with -si switch, RAR sets the current system time
to modification time of archived file. Previous version did not set this time at
all.
16. It is possible to use -si and -v<size> switches together. Previous versions
did not allow to create volumes when archiving from stdin.
17. Warning is issued when starting unpacking 4 GB or larger file from RAR or ZI
P archive to FAT32 patition, so user may cancel the operation. FAT32 does not su
pport files of such size.
Also this warning is issued when starting to create RAR archive with
ethod if estimated archive size is 4 GB or more.

18. Select all button in Settings/Integration dialog is renamed to Toggle all . Now it
deselects archive formats if all they are already selected.
19. Delete archive extraction option correctly removes all .zip and .7z volumes. P
reviously it removed only the first volume in the set for these archive formats.
