Or you can open the archive then rightclick on the file and choose "set default password" and then enter the password, this way you will never have to enter the password again anytime you want to open the file.

I'm late to the party, but wanted to chime in because I disagree with both the answers posted so far, including the accepted one. What you're looking to achieve is technically possible with certain caveats. Looking at the RAR archive format, if solid archiving and encryption are not used it is possible to create a new archive with a suitably adjusted main ...

I think that it's not possible; I've never seen an archiving software that let you do that.
Anyway, I think that there is no point in doing so: if you are trying to organize the files inside the archive, the best solution is to decompress it, put the files in an organized folder structure, and re-compress everything.
If you are trying, instead, to reduce ...

Someone may prove me wrong, but this should not be possible. Even though you see the list of files, the files themselves are compressed. An algorithm was used on all the files in the RAR to remove redundant data. The files you wish to create another archive from dont exist in a standard file format, therefore you would not be able to select them and ...

You can work around this problem by printing the problematic file to stdout and redirecting it to a ...

It surprising that you not even read the wiki ?
Compression is on per file based, unless you nested them.

I've been looking into this too, and I suspect the easiest thing to do is probably write a python script to do it, especially because you'll be dealing with both RAR and ZIP files.
It looks like there's not a particularly clean way to rename a file in a zip archive without unzipping all the files, renaming the ones you want to rename, and then zipping them ...
