Handling zip and rar files

[Mr Gisa]

I was wondering what is the best way to handle zip and rar files? I need to list the content and extract them only, not compress or anything like that.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

KDE's KArchive framework is likely the best place to start.

[Mr Gisa]

@SGaist It's only for zip files right? And it seems that using on Windows is a little bit complicated, idk.

[SGaist]

No it's not. there are more. See here.

KArchive is a Tier1 framework which means it depends only on Qt.

[Mr Gisa]

@SGaist No rar format tho right?

Not yet added to it but available here
