the password line in the dialogue is always grayed out, and i get a message "incorrect password" in the command line output. how do i enter the password to extract the file? thanks!

Just curious if the problem is in the unrar or the xarchiver side.

open xterm
navigate to folder with the rar using cd
type:
Code:
unrar e -p filename.rar
If you just type: unrar you will see more details on unrar's usage.
hope it helps.

I just love when all fail, one can open immediately the terminal and make things happen with a simple line of code. For me, that's the real power of gnu/linux.
BTW, I've test it by creating a passworded rar in a windows system and then run the command in my N800 and all worked fine. It asks the password twice.
I'm off to sleep now but I'll try to remember to fill a bug against xarchiver on the first chance.
