Aethec Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 For those of you who don't like 7-zip's Win9x look...a nice free archiver from China, HaoZip: As a bonus, it has a batch rename/replace tool, can do MD5 checksums, convert images, convert archives, merge MP3s (although I don't see when you'd want to do that), it has an image viewer, and skins. And an x64 version . The English translation has some mistakes, however (but who cares?) Download Skins (the page is in Chinese) Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Sounds solid but I don't think I'd want to move from WinRAR! Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well, WinRAR nags you if you don't pay (IMHO the only "missing" thing in HaoZip is favorite folders like 7-zip...) Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Mine is... paid. This has a lot of features, but I don't need all that honestly, not on an archiving tool at least. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I had guessed that - but many people don't want to pay for a archiver. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishan_rulz Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Shame, shame, shame. I don't want to talk about piracy here at the risk of breaking rules but here is how it goes. I have paid for my OS, all my softwares are freewares/open-source except for WinRAR where there doesn't exist a decent alternative. I am 17 right now, as soon as I start earning I will pay them for sure. I don't want to think about how much music I have s.... *shakes head* Simplicity is hard.

Aethec Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why don't you try HaoZip (or 7-zip if you want an English-compliant archiver)? 7z is better than RAR anyway. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishan_rulz Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why don't you try HaoZip (or 7-zip if you want an English-compliant archiver)? 7z is better than RAR anyway. GUI matters, and I'm just used to RAR. I'll get a job in say, 4 years. I shall definitely pay for everything I have ever 'stolen' then. I don't exactly feel too proud using dad's money for software. Getting too off-topic methinks. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm personally fine with the gui of 7-Zip itself, I just hate the file extension icons it has. They look horrible with Windows 7, absolutely repulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yes, that's why I like HaoZip...the icons are quite well-drawn. Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
