I've tried a few different rar files, and none of them will open. I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.6 and they still won't open. Once I go through the arduous process of spending half an hour converting all of the rars from a given series into zip files, they open properly.

    I'll look into it.

    Thanks. I'll add that I eventually realized that converting to zip is only a pain on Windows. If I extract the files from the rar and then put them onto my Android before compressing them there, it only takes a few minutes to do the conversion. I can also just use winrar instead and it's simple enough.

    It appears that the RAR library that the project uses does not support the newer RAR 5 format. Unfortunately the author of the library has no current plans to update it to support RAR 5.
