RAR archives have size and compressed size swapped
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

RAR archives display size as compressed size and compressed size as size. The rate column is negative in such case.

They are not swapped. For some reason, the RAR format does something weird on small file sizes.

For example, If I compress a text file whose size is 5 bytes, Ark will show its Size correctly (5B), but any rar plugin (unrar or unar) shows a Compressed size of 14B.

See this screenshot.

However, the negative Rate column is definitely a bug!
