Preamble:
aKu is simply a GUI with the aim of help common
users in managing, creating, reading (..etc, etc)
RAR archives under KDE4.
RAR and/or UNRAR software are not compiling-time
required but should be present in your system to
be able to manage archives.
This software acts as a parser and makes you
simple (we hope) reading and creating RAR
archives.

See below for aKu\'s features, bugs and
missings...


Features Supported:
- Support of rar and unrar
- Creation of new archives in a very simple way
- Advanced rar extraction options
- Adding files or directory to existing archives
- Deleting and renaming files archives
- Preview support
- Password - opening and creation of archives with
header or files password
- Comment - visualization and creation
- Locked archive - opening and creation
- A beautiful preview metabar for images

Features NOT YET supported
- Split archive - opening and creation
- Drag and drop from the main window
- Brute force attack for password archives :=)

Known bugs and Issues :-(
- Full extracting of big size archives with many
files is very slow (work in progress...)
- Columns ordering for size and packed is not
correct

REQUIREMENTS:

and RAR or UNRAR binaries installed in your system
directories

HOW TO COMPILE AND INSTALL:
Just do a \"cd\" in this directory.

Enjoy!
