What is new in WinRAR 5.40 Version

1. "Name encoding" Submenu in "options" menu allows to select encoding for archived file names, this selection affects archive browsing and extraction commands. You can use Ctrl+E keyboard shortcut to access this menu quickly.

2. It can be useful when unpacking an archive without Unicode file names. For example, unpacking a ZIP file with Chinese archived names in Windows with Russian specified as a language for non-Unicode programs.

3. If RAR recovery volumes ( .rev files ) are present in the same folder as usual RAR volumes, archive test command verifies .rev contents after completing testing .rar files.

4. If you wish to test only .rev files without checking .rar volumes, you can select .rev files in WinRAR file list and apply "TEST" only to them or run: rar t arcname.part1.rev in the command line.

5. While NTFS file system permits file name with trailing spaces and dots, a lot of Window programs fail to process such names correctly. if "Allow potentially incompatible names" option in "Advance" page of extraction dialog is turned off, WinRAR removes trailing spaces and dots, if any, from file names when extracting. This option is turned off by default. Command line RAR also trailing spaces and dots when extraction unless -one switch is specified.

6. Previously "Synchronize archive contents" update mode ( - as command line switch ) aborted if some of archiving folders could not be read. Now Winrar continues performing the operation and preserves archived files matching unreadable folders.

7. You can drag folders from folder tree panel and drop them to other programs or desktop to copy or unpack them. Drag the archive icon in tree panel root to unpack the entire archive.

8. "New Folder" button in extraction dialog proposes a new folder name based on archive  name instead of generic "New Folders"
