Excellent work - it seems to be working great so far!

Since I'm a stickler for ES File Explorer and all its many capabilities, I'm wondering if there's a way to use 7Archiver in conjunction with ES for opening archives like .tar files that ES can't handle. I've tried the [long press on .tar in ES] > Open as > Other > [check "Set as default app"] > 7Archiver approach, which works if you go through that process each time, but it doesn't actually set the default app to open .tars to 7Archiver.

Any assistance?

I do not know the solution this problem. This is a problem of older versions of the ES explorer. I wrote to them about this issue. In the current version (for the android 4+) it works fine.
