Assign UnRAR Password...what am I missing

[Vocalpoint]

Currently using 6.40 (2059) and have a password protected RAR set coming down. I have NB set to allow these archives to be downloaded.

The app will download the set then seem to "halt/pause" on the PAR set (makes sense) as it needs a password. So I right click on the Par2 file and choose "assign unRAR password" from the menu that appears and nothing happens? What am I supposed to see? A dialog box? A field onscreen somewhere to add the password?

Appreciate any info on this.

EDIT: Got some info from another post and went ahead and clicked UnRar (in the Download List area)...that finally displayed the dialog box. Obviously some work still to be done?

Cheers!

If you assign the password before it finishes it'll unrar the set when it's done. Assigning the password after it's done requires manual interaction.

Not having the password when the unrar tries to happen normally (when the download completes and the files are checked), switches it into manual unrar mode.

If you assign the password before it finishes it'll unrar the set when it's done.

So I can do this - while it's downloading?

As in - right click on at least one downloaded file in the archive and choose Assign UnRAR Password. Does it matter what kind of file it is? Par, Rar?

If you're using a password, I'm assuming RAR files. I'm assuming grouped RAR's and pars too. If you right click the parent of the rars and pars and assign a password, it'll be used when the unrar kicks in. If they're not grouped, I'd assign it to the grouped PAR files.

Not sure I've tested assigning a password to ungrouped sets of files. Not sure you can.
