ZipCleaner is a program that allows you to remove .DS_Store files and other resource information from zip-archives created by the Finder.

Creating zip-archives in the Finder is convenient. Unfortunately, they often contain items useless to people less fortunate, i.e. not using Macs. When they unzip such an archive, they can see .DS_Store files, Icon files and a __MACOSX folder. I dislike sending files with a lot of "garbage" in them, so I wrote ZipCleaner.

By default ZipCleaner will remove all resource information in an archive. If you just want to remove .DS_Store files, you can press the option key when dropping a zip-file on ZipCleaner.

Warning: Removing all resource information from a zip archive can make included files, like applications, unusable! If you want to be save, unzip the archive and test the files. Removing only .DS_Store files should give no problems, though.

Requirements:
OS X 10.30-10.4
Universal Binary
