6.4rc2 rar passwords

Postby oferlaor » Mon Sep 10, 2012 5:38 pm

I downloaded two NZBs with passwords. I assigned the passwords properly (not 100% sure, the procedure is quite hard to follow).

It did not auto-unrar them (reported missing password). When I manually asked them to unrar, it asked me which password I wanted and I selected it from the list.

The current procedure is a bit difficult to understand. Is there a way to explain this a bit clearer?

If I understand correctly, one has to select a particular password and press OK.

What might make things clearer is if :
1. A new password added to the list should be selected (highlighted) by default.
2. If you press assign password on a file that has previously been selected with a password - the selection should be saved and the previously selected password should be highlighted.

We didn't ignore this. Dex looked into it but, we forgot to post back. Sorry.

You should be able to type in the password and/or select it from the list. So, the enter, then select shouldn't be needed if you just type it in every time.

Let me see if I understand this correctly. If you simply type the password in without adding and then press the OK button, that will register it for the selected file?

What about my suggestion to highlight (or in the case above, show it in the text field), so that i can be sure that the password was saved properly?

BTW, thanks for implementing this.

I have been clamoring for this feature for ages (you can look it up, I bugged you many times for it...)

Should yes, it's not something I use very often (well, never). I'll have to verify. The "add to list" should be automatic too. Every new password should be added. The list below is intended to just be for convenience.
