Hi Carl,
Thanks for your answer.
I'm using SuSE 10.1; KDE 3.5.1 Level a; RAR 3.6. I've a legal copy of RAR that I imported from Windows (the rarkey works in windows and Linux) and so I can compress with this format. RAR provides a "open license" or rar, meaning that you can download and install RAR, but with limited functionality.

Hi Lívio, I'd suggest, at least hypothetically (I'm not certain and can't cite a source,) that KDE/Konqueror is probably taking it's cues from the program and possibly some associated configuration files; that changing the default format of the file extension is something I'd expect to change within the program (RAR) itself or in one of the configuration files... if they exist. Does it create a '~/.RAR' user preferences/data directory under your home directory? If so, have you inspected it for a configuration file containing a modifiable setting for the extension? Has RAR landed documentation under /usr/share/doc/packages/? If so, have you inspected it for instructions regarding the file extension format? Is there a mailing list or, since you're a licensed user, a support knowledge base or another means to contact the company to ask this question? There may be other SUSE users who are also licensed RAR users, but since the program isn't part of the standard SUSE distribution you might have better luck in this avenue of inquiry. Of course, if all else fails, there's always Google ;-) regards, Carl
