This app does not seem to work. first bar goes to 100% and then nothing happens. would help if there is a better status bar or a pop up to let people know why this is crashing.
Esta aplicacion me ha funcionado bien. Cuando voy a abrir el archivo tar.gz me pregunta google con que aplicacion puede abrir el archivo (descomprimir) y me muestra la opcion de Wakame o la que instale antes Wicked Good Unarchiver. Al hacer click en Wakame me ha descomprimido los archivos muy bien y me ha creado una nueva carpeta donde puedo ver y abrir los archivos sin compresion.
No estoy seguro si una vez instaladas las aplicaciones hay que reiniciar el equipo. Porque la otra aplicacion Wicked Good Unarchiver, que se supone hace lo mismo no me funciono como esta antes y la Wicked la tendre que desinstalar.
it gets to 50 percent then just stops its horrible
