BetterZip lets you open archives without immediately extracting them. This is much faster and you don't have to remove the extracted files and folders after using them. The currently supported archive formats are: ZIP, TAR, GZip, and BZip.
Add files and folders to existing archives, update files already in the archive, move files around within the archive, and delete files and folders from an archive. Easily search for files and folders by name inside the archive.
BetterZip lets you create «clean» archives without the Mac specific files (Finder configuration or resource forks) to happily exchange with Windows or Linux users.
New in version:
- BetterZip is now ready for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
Changes
- RAR now stores symbolic links as such, which is now consistent with all other archive formats.
- Extracting when the preview drawer is open is much faster now.
Bugs fixed
- SIT: The wrong file size was displayed for files that only consisted of a resource fork.
- Direct extract (holding down the Command key while opening an archive from Finder) crashed for larger archives.
- An error occured when extracting folders with custom icons from tarballs.
- When previewing files in a password protected archive you were asked for the password for every file.
- Fixed the progress indicator for SIT extraction: It was much faster than the actual extraction.
- Folder properties like color labels and icon positions were not saved correctly.
