I am looking for a program that allows you to directly browse parts rar files

I am looking for a program that allows you to directly browse parts rar files - they contain jpg files, and most often have two parts - coma.part1.rar, coma.part2.rar
 

I've already checked FastStone MaxView, CDisplayX, ComicRack, HoneyView and none of them display all files.

It appears that RAR is not supported. 

[pedro22]

It would be good - unfortunately, it does not support rar files

I think you can try:

http://www.winmount.com/Mount_RAR.html

@jbleck - It's about direct browsing without unpacking to a temporary folder.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Got tired of keeping multiple applications for 7-ZIP, RAR and ISO on your PC? Want to open all archive formats directly in Windows Explorer? Or feeling uncomfortable without your favorite WCX plug-ins for Total Commander? If yes, then TC4Shell will fit just fine!

TS wants an image viewer that can handle multi-segment RARS by viewing JPG contents (without unraring the packages)...

WinMount does not support rar part files.

 

Winarchiver theoretically supports, but creates a temporary file with an archive size.

Yes, that's what I meant - although the option to mount the archive is also interesting, but if you satisfy the conditions.

That is exactly what tc4shell does.  Here is a screenshot of a 3 part rar archive of old dilbert cartoons that is opened in Wndows Explorer using TC4Shell.  The archive contains over 5000 dilbert cartoons and is in 100MB parts.  Opening part one in Windows explorer loads all the files so can view all of them.  But the fact remains, the archive has to be opened (extracted) even if it is only in a temporary system directory.  Even mounting an archive means that it is actually opened using the unrar.dll built in to whichever program you use to mount it with.  You just don't see the extraction and the files are deleted when windows explorer or the software used to mount the archive is closed.

Try 7-Zip, it will browse any archive format.

@Straycat19 - Tc4shell actually does this, but has one flaw - it does not allow browsing of these files in other programs except Explorer

 

These programs load files into memory FastStone MaxView, CDisplayX, ComicRack, HoneyView - does not create a temporary on disk.

Windows photo viewer can navigate through virtual folders of TC4Shell. Also it is possible to use internal Explorer preview pane:

 

[pedro22]

Yes, but other browsers do not have access to these photos.

My developer notes.

 

There are two possible ways to navigate files. First way is a "classic" way. It uses "classic" functions of WinApi such as FindFirstFile/CreateFile and so on. In this case app can access only to real physical files on drives. Second way is a "shell" way. It uses IShellFolder objects instead of functions of WinApi. It has some advantage - it allows app to navigate through any virtual folders include folders of TC4Shell (or folders on clouds). But 99.999% of apps use "classic" way because it can be easy developed. In theory any app can access to folders of TC4Shell, but it requests quite difficult additional work of app developers. But in practice most of developers prefer to go by easy way, so we have a situation in which most of app can navigate only through physical folders.
