XYplorer Beta Club

Using 23.50

I use 7-Zip for my archive files. When I click on a *.7z or *.zip file, the contents appear in the preview pane. However, when I click on a *.rar file "Not a previewed format." shows in the preview pane. 7-Zip can open *.rar files so I don't understand why it doesn't preview in XY.

Under Custom File Associations I added "rar>d:\Utilities\7-Zip\7zFM.exe" yet it still doesn't preview.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

My suggestion is that you read the reply you got last time you asked this question.

Since in the other thread you didn't clearly state you got that working, FYI if you are using portable 7zip you need to set the ZipPath7zip= to D:\Utilities\7-Zip\7z.exe manually.

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out. I re-read that and apologize for not searching the forum first.

This was already configured per the release notes.

BINGO! This is what I was missing. I now see *.rar contents when hovering.

Thanks very much jupe.
