But this approach makes it more difficult to do proper error-handling etc. There is at least one OSX application that does this: RARMe.

An alternative to using the RAR compression library would be to rely on the "rar" command-line utility. As I'm not a commercial developer and have no intent to be one, this is not an option for me.
#.rar expander license
If I want to use that library, I have to pay RAR's developer a license fee for the library, and I would somehow have to get this money from RAR Expander by making it shareware.
#.rar expander for free
The reason is that only the library for uncompressing RAR archives is available for free and can be included and used by any programmer for free in his program, but this is not so for the library for compressing RAR archives. Unfortunately, it's not interesting for me to add compression functionality to RAR Expander because I would have to make RAR Expander (or "RAR Compresser" then) shareware. It is at this point unlikely that I will change RAR Expander to something like "RAR Compressor". Will Functionality for Creating RAR Archives be Added to RAR Expander?
#.rar expander download
Download RAR Expander, and you will find the script in the "Example Scripts" folder included with RAR Expander, the script is called "Replace RAR Archives with Expansion".
But the RAR Expander download includes an example AppleScript which you can use to do this: the script expands all archives in a folder, and then moves the archives that were expanded without errors to the trash. Yes and no: there is no preference setting in RAR Expander that will make it automatically (or after asking you) delete RAR archives after expanding them. But please do consider making a donation!Ĭan I Tell RAR Expander to Delete RAR Archives After It Has Expanded Them? One user for example posted a feature request related to batch processing of multiple RAR archives at once which he found missing in other RAR expansions programs on the mac, I told him to take a look at the example scripts provided with RAR Expander which already do more or less what he asked for, and he immediately made a donation of $20! (Thanks a lot Anders!) This is why RAR Expander is donationware: you can decide what is a fair amount to donate depending on how much you use the application etc. But for users, a program is often more like a service than a tool: if you only occassionally need RAR Expander's help to access the contents of an archive, it's value to you may be not much more than $5 if you need to often expand RAR archives, RAR Expander may be worth more to you.

Most commercial software is priced like a tool: like a screwdriver, Apple's iWork costs $79 no matter how much you use it. How much you should donate is really up to you to decide! I find it hard to put a price on software. :) Alas, so far only a few people (less than 5!) have made a donation, so I'm hoping that in the future more users of RAR Expander will recognize this plea: if you like RAR Expander and have some use for it, please consider making a donation! While I'm not expecting to get rich from RAR Expander, I was hoping the donations would pay for the occassional pizza and coke for RAR Expander programming sessions.
And then there is the additional work that comes with making it available to others: answering support requests and handling bug reports. I originally made RAR Expander simply because I needed a good RAR expansion application myself, but since then I have spent a lot of time on providing preferences, help files, GUI design, proper error handling, making it faster etc.
