I try to open a cbr file with Okular but it can't open it. It complains about the absence of unrar or unarchiver. I have the latests WinRar and Unarchiver (from Trend Micro, Inc.) installed. Putting UnRar.exe into the bin folder of Okular installation doesn't solve my problem. What should I do to open crb files with Okular on Windows 10 Pro?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Yes, I know it's KDE based forum but I can't find anything on Internet related to my issue.

no replies?

i, too, would like to know how to open cbr files with okular. Except for that one file type it does everything i need. there must be a way...

can you unpack cbr with rar for linux?

did you try?

i don't know about linux, but based on your question i tried unrar-ing a cbr on windows with the unrar i managed to find on the web and it does not work. However, if i change the extension to .rar it *does* work. [this is for unrar only, independent of how it interacts with okular]

maybe that's worth pursuing - thanks!

do you know any unrar-ers that work on .cbr? I know 7zip does, but okular doesn't seem to work with it. maybe if i copy the 7zip executable and rename it to 'unrar'...
something has to work, unless it is compiled some way to just pop up the error message and not even try.

it's a bit disingenuous of them to call it 'universal', i think
