So glad it's back! Can't understand why they didn't at least have an "equal size" option to keep them all from being different sizes based on the window title.
Once I'll be able to tell Windows Copilot "open this Excel sheet, copy that data and paste it in this Chrome tab" that'll be a real OH SHIT moment.
But I appreciate finally the .rar support
"We thought this would be Microsoft’s larger 23H2 update dropping on September 26th, but that’s coming a little later and will include some even bigger changes to Windows 11. A new volume mixer is on the way, alongside native RAR and 7-zip support, Dynamic Lighting for controlling RGB accessories, and even app labels and ungrouping for the Windows 11 taskbar."
That's pathetic. You know what a cool OS would do? Allow the user to install datatype handlers for such things without MS even being involved other than providing the API. 30 years ago.
Not that I really care. Microsoft announced Windows 10 as their final OS, so as far as I'm concerned, once they stop supporting that, they no longer have an OS.
You can already do this, the existing zip tool was itself just a plug-in to Explorer before it was bought by Microsoft, ironically around 30 years ago. Other tools use to do this for ISOs until that got added natively as well.
If you don't want to do that though you can also just merge support into libarchive, it's the open source project they are leveraging.
It already does and you already can if you're the 1% (Yes it probably is that low) who knows what rar is and how to install the software. But after this you can also send a 7z/RAR file to your grandparents and know they'll be able to open it without also becoming 7zip tech support.
