aKu is a graphical user interface (GUI) software application for the KDE4 desktop environment that allows users to manage and extract RAR files.
As a RAR GUI application for KDE4, aKu offers users a number of useful features. One of the primary advantages of this software is its ability to support both rar and unrar formats. Additionally, aKu allows users to create new archives with ease and offers a number of advanced rar extraction options - making it a versatile tool for managing compressed files.
Users can also add files or directories to existing archives, delete or rename files within an archive, and preview the contents of an archive before opening. aKu also supports password creation and opening of archives - with options for both header and file passwords. Comment visualization and creation, locked archive support, and a beautiful preview metabar for images further enhances the software's capabilities.
To use aKu, users will need to have KDE 4.x installed on their computer, as well as RAR or UNRAR software. The only notable limitations of the software are its slow performance when extracting large archives with many files and issues with column ordering for size and packed files. However, developers are actively working to address these issues.
The latest release of aKu includes a number of bug fixes and improvements, such as a preview metabar for audio files, a KDE4 Services menu, and better support for password-protected files. The software also offers early support for zips and tars, making it an even more versatile tool for managing compressed files. Overall, aKu offers a solid set of features for managing compressed files and is worth considering for users of KDE4.
