Software Update: RAR & WinRAR 3.20 beta 1

• new “Time” part of archiving dialog includes “File time to store” options controlling file time processing. Other time related options also had been moved from “Backup” to “Time” section;
• new “Advanced” part of extraction dialog contains “File time” options allowing to select time fields to restore;
• command line -ts switch chooses time fields to process and precision of these fields;

Time precision provided by ZIP format is not changed and equal to 2 seconds.

• dialog has been split to “General” and “Advanced” parts;
• “Display files in Explorer” option in “General” part instructs WinRAR to open Explorer window and display contents of destination folder when extraction is done;
• “Save settings” button saves the current state of both parts (“General” and “Advanced”). Saved state will be used as the default when activating the dialog next time. WinRAR saves all options except the destination path;
• “Advanced” part includes “File time” options allowing to select time fields to restore;
• new “Set file security” option in “Advanced” part controls restoring of NTFS file security information. Previous versions always extracted this information.

• “Toolbars…” button in “Settings/General” activates the dialog allowing to turn on or off the main WinRAR toolbar, the additional small toolbar containing “Up one level” button and the address bar with path or archive information;
• buttons may have a variable width. So few large button titles in localized versions will not increase the total toolbar size too much like it happened before;
• if the width of buttons exceeds the width of toolbar, you may click on the small arrow at the right side of toolbar and choose hidden buttons from the menu.

• when creating recovery volumes, the required disk space is preallocated in the beginning of operation. It helps to minimize the disk fragmentation;
• console RAR displays the operation percentage when creating recovery volumes or reconstructing missing or corrupt volumes.
