1) better password handling. If an archive is password-protected, unRarX will still try to (unsuccessfully) expand it even after saying so. This can take a little while, though it can be stopped (but see #2). Better would be for it to stop and prompt for the password (or a chance to cancel before doing any more). You might not even notice that it failed, because it LOOKS like it's expanding, but there'll be a small error message at the end.
2) it doesn't play too well trying to expand multiple archives. If you realize the three you're trying to open are password protected, UnRarX will try to open them all without asking for the password (and thereby fail). But hitting the stop button on the toolbar (there is no menu equivalent) will only stop if for ONE archive--you'll have to wait for it to try expanding the rest.
3) it would be nice if you could get a preview of the expanded archive. If the person who made the archive packed sixty files but didn't enclose them in a folder (i.e., archived the files and not a folder with those files), you could then have those sixty files expanded all through the enclosing folder--which may already have many files in it. That is, if you have Downloads folder with two hundred items, and expand a sixty-item rar, those sixty items will be throughout the Downloads folder (and you'd better hope there's a way to find the parts of the archive, like a single creation date or a common-denominator name).
