I'm not sure what the issue is, but I noticed that YACReader can’t open some .cbr files. YACReader Library also can’t seem to scan or add them.

Example:


What’s strange is that it doesn’t happen with all .cbr files, only some of them.

You need a build with 7zip or libarchive support, you are probably using a build with unarr, which doesn't support rar5. Hopefully next release will use 7zip or libarchive as the default library for compressed files.

Unzip the file, then rezip the jpg's in the folder and change.zip to .cbz, works every time for me.

Flatpak is being shipped with libarchive and I made 7zip the default library for Linux too. Hopefully after 10.1 we'll start to see better support for RAR5 in Linux.
