4got about the blasted stars.

Like the idea that you can compress to various formats but with no progress bar and the lack of a preference to choose where you want the compressed file to be renders this app just average.

I was able to un 7zip a huge 8gb file with compress (NO progress bar? Had to leave it on all night just to make sure it was finished]. Since then, every time I try to uncompress a 7zip file, nothing happens.

Strange. Doesn't work.

Oh Dear; this doesn't work for me (empty folder is all I get), and I'm not gonna use terminal or build a java app somehow.

Pleeeeeease, can we get a better solution for 7z files for the MAC?

AFAIK, this is the only Mac app out there that can decompress 7z files, so...if you need it, you need it. I'm just glad I don't need it very often.

It has virtually no GUI. I drag a z7 file to it, and the only way I know it's working is that my system slows to a pathetic crawl. No progress bar, no file list, no indication of any sort that it's doing anything. I fired up Activity Monitor to see that it spawned another process to do the decoding, and that process was hogging virtually all my CPU time, to the point where it took several seconds just for clicks to register. NASTY.

So, it gets the job done. It doesn't do it really nicely, but I'm still glad to have it.
