I really liked the GUI of WinRar, but I no longer consider proprietary software to be an option.

Yeah, I don't know about WinRar either, and I even bought a license back in 2010, so I guess I shouldn't feel bad for using it, it's just that I want to support FOSS more these days.

I am still pining for a Qt GUI compression/extraction killer app, that feels fully featured and able to handle it all. As it is, I keep three different ones installed, to meet my needs and mostly satisfy my workflow.

I believe Ark isn't happy extracting a lot of r01, r02 etc. files or maybe it was passworded filed it struggled with, but that's why I found PeaZip to begin with.
