Compressing large files takes really long on my fast system.
Activity monitor shows that the zipping procedure takes just 100% of computing power (instead of 800%).

I would like to know if sArchiver makes use of all available processor cores to compress files.
To me it seems that it uses just one core.

When I compress a file or folder using .RAR archive format with split option activated, I can't choose between KB, MB and GB but it is selected by default KB, so if I have to split a file of 4 GB in 4 segment I've to use the notation 1047586 KB. It could be possible to select the unit measure for splitting .RAR archive?

If you are annoyed by the update notifications of sArchiver you can toggle them off from the preferences menu.

sArchiver also has integrated DMG Image creation utility (prices of the standalone ones starts from about $15).
Integrated backup system, integrated archive converter, FTP upload capability, email notifications, SFX archives and more.
And a BIG smile on the face of the developer who is happy to support the users. :)

I have extracted using other utility (in this case BetterZip)and XLD work fine.
Fix please and thank in advance. XLD can be download via Aupdte
Thank in advance for support
Looks like we have a little bug here when extracting the tar.bz2 archive. I will trace the bug and fix it.
Please accept my apologies about the experienced inconvenience.
And thank you for your notification.

If I open sArchiver, sArchiver doesn't open.
I'm sorry for my bad english.
Would you just send me a short email to feedback@bitpersecond.com so we can talk in private and not disturbing the rest of the usres?
I will fix the problem.
Just help me find out what's the problem.
Thank you so much for being that supportive.

I've found the bug with the great help of your crash report you sent me.
When I fix it and release it I will personally inform you by mail about the new version.
Thank you so much.
Info: the bug is when sArchiver installs the services for compressing and extracting via the context menu (right mouse click on a file(s))

We have already commented this mistake below. I'm not perfect. It was corrected immediately.
This update contains the latest feature suggestions (see below — Macman4hire reviewed on 02 Aug 2011).
I think that makes me the opposite of careless.

My apologies, I thought I just ran the large file test with 3.8.15, but it was an older version. I ran the test again with 3.8.15 and the hash comparison was equal when splitting a large 6.8 GB DMG file. I still would like to know if you specifically fixed this (it would be strange if you didn't and the problem went away). The second issue is still there though, the one where uncompressing split archives results in a single zip file which then has to be unarchived in a second operation to get back the original file, but that is more of an inconvenience. I had been using Ez7z and Entropy, but I may go back to using sArchiver now. Thanks.

The problem I reported was specific to a source file larger than 4.7 GB (such as a DVD double layer ISO file). My latest test with 3.8.15 still shows the two same problems 1) when splitting a source file that is LARGER than 4.7 GB, the recombined files do not match the original. 2) If start with a large source file larger than 4.7 GB, named "myfile.iso", the program first creates "myfile.zip", and then splits 'myfile.zip'into 'myfile.001', 'myfile.002' and so on. When attempting to uncompress, it uncompresses to 'myfile.zip'. I then have to run a second operation to uncompress 'myfile.zip' to get the original 'myfile.iso' back. It shouldn't take two operations. Uncompressing should result in the exact original file initially compressed.
Yuri, you said you would look at this over a year ago (I reported this in Sept 2010). Have you had a chance to look into this?

I first reported this back in Sept 2010, it's still an issue in the latest. Worst, when trying to compress a large file into split volumes, after uncompressing, the resulting file is NOT equal to the original, i.e. it fails all Hash comparisons (MD5, SHA-1, etc).
Original message from Sept:
Yuriy,
I want to store into a multi part ZIP file a large source, for example disk.iso, which is 8 GB. I need to store this on a FAT32 drive to share between OS X and Windows, so files must be smaller than 4 GB.
I used sArchiver to create a ZIP file (store only, no compression) specifying 3GB chunks. sArchiver appears to first create disk.zip, which has a size of 8GB, and then divide it into smaller files and name them 001, 002, etc. Then delete the disk.zip file (the large one), leaving just the smaller chunks.
That's all fine. However, when I go to extract, sArchiver extracts to a file disk.zip. I then have have to run sArchiver a second time, to extract disk.zip back to the original disk.iso. In my opinion, when you extract, you should end up with the original you started with, and shouldn't require two separate operations to. This is how 7Zip on Windows handles multi part files. Using OS X archive utility to extract gives me the same result, so it seems what is being stored in the multi-part archive is the 8GB disk.zip, not disk.iso.
Same thing happens if I select 7z as well instead of Zip as the format.

The bug is that every launch I am asked again and again to associate.
I should only be asked this once only not every launch.
Please fix this annoying nag.

This is not a bug per se but it's not the behavior I expect. I want to store into a multi part ZIP file a large source, for example disk.iso, which is 8 GB. I need to store this on a FAT32 drive to share between OS X and Windows, so files must be smaller than 4 GB.

If auto-update checkbox is on then sArchiver 2.7.4 just crashes for me.
If I use an older version and turn the to auto-update checkbox off then version 2.7.4 launches nicely.
Please fix this.
Thank you so much.
