lsar.yazi

Previewing archive contents with lsar, which is something you might not want to use anyway.

It was the default archive previewer before Yazi v0.3, and after then, it was replaced with a faster and more efficient 7zip previewer.

This plugin is here just in case you're still interested in the old behavior, but we strongly discourage using it unless you encounter some issues with 7zip when previewing CJK characters - lsar usually does a better job recognizing these characters.

Installation

ya pack -a yazi-rs/plugins:lsar

Usage

Add this to your ~/.config/yazi/yazi.toml:

[[plugin.prepend_previewers]]
mime = "application/{,g}zip"
run  = "lsar"

[[plugin.prepend_previewers]]
mime = "application/x-{tar,bzip*,7z-compressed,xz,rar}"
run  = "lsar"

Make sure you have unar installed, and have lsar in your $PATH. You can install it with:

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S unarchiver
# macOS
brew install unar
# Windows
scoop install unar
