Obligatory shilling for unar, I love that little fucker so much

  • Single command to handle uncompressing nearly all formats.
  • No obscure flags to remember, just unar <yourfile>
  • Makes sure output is always contained in a directory
  • Correctly handles weird japanese zip files with SHIFT-JIS filename encoding, even when standard unzip doesn’t

What weird Japanese zip files are you handling?

Voicebanks for Utau (free (as in beer, iirc) clone of Vocaloid) are primarily distributed as SHIFT-JIS encoded zips. For example, try downloading Yufu Sekka’s voicebank: http://sekkayufu.web.fc2.com/ . If I try to unzip the “full set” zip, it produces a folder called РсЙ╠ГЖГtТPУ╞Й╣ГtГЛГZГbГgБi111025Бj. But unar detects the encoding and properly extracts it as 雪歌ユフ単独音フルセット(111025). I’m sure there’s some flag you can pass to unzip to specify the encoding, but I like having unar handle it for me automatically.
