„There are some data after the end of the payload data“-still
Hi,
still no fix/toggle for this warning message? I get this message nearly on every .rar file if i unpack via context menu.

I was going to open a ticket for this. I suggest it should be a high priority to address as it is a quite common message to see and very confusing / unhelpful for the average user - plus horrible grammar!
This post at Sourceforge gives a full explanation - condensed =
In most cases it is due to another archive tool adding e.g. digital signing certificate, or a web server wrapping it with HTML, etc. It effectively means "You cannot change content of the archive".
It is correct to offer a warning (something more informative than the current one!) but the user should be given a switch to ignore it.
Suggested change to warning message:
Warning: There is data after the archive payload. This is usually a harmless artifact from other archive tools, but could indicate a corrupted archive.
