I use it all the time. Works without problems. Well done...

I found the interface and CMM easy to install and navigate and don't agree it's just an interface to something that's there already.

When I found a glitch I informed the writer and he was fast to accomodate it into the next rewrite - this one.

All in all, it's a neat little app that helps with the more complex issues of zipping when the Apple zip becomes stuck.

This program is just a graphical interface to the command-line zip and unzip utilities that come with OS X. And a bad one at that.

It does not come with any Read Me file. The first time you run the app, it installs a contextual menu plugin **without asking your permission**. It also associates JIMZip with the .zip filetype in the OS. If you hunt around, you find an option in the Preferences to uninstall the plugin -- but it doesn't actually work. You have to manually locate and remove the plugin in your ~/Library/Contextual Items/ folder. Very lame.

This app is $7 shareware and brings up a nag screen at startup. IMO if you're charging users for a front-end, and it's someone else's software that does all the real work, then it better be a really *good* front-end. This isn't even close.

My advice: take the money and buy yourself seven songs on the iTunes Music Store. 10.3 users can just use the Finder instead. To create a .zip file, control-click a file or folder and choose "Create Archive". To expand a .zip file, double-click it. 10.2 users can use ZipIt, which a far superior shareware program; or you can use the zip and unzip commands from the Terminal.
