I am looking for an alternative to the over bloated Stuffit suite... I recently downloaded The, but it feels limited.

Is $26.00 really worth the purchase of this app? Any helpful responses with Pros and Cons would be awesomely appreciated ;) Unarchiver

It's too bad more file types (like .rar .7z) aren't automatically built into Apple's "Archive Utility" but I'll take this over stuffit any day.

(Disclaimer - the price has doubled since I bought it!)

iArchiver does the job well, feels Mac-like (excellent use of drag and drop, which makes it very easy to create archives spanning multiple directories) and, at last, forms a complete replacement for the remnants of Stuffit Expander still around and the occasional command line tools previously required for some formats. It also avoids the temptation to bombard the user with excessive configuration options and irrelevant statistics, which is a problem with most Windows-based archivers.

A couple of possible minor improvements:

1. Better feedback - if a password for an encrypted archive is entered incorrectly, it is simply asked for again with no indication that the first password was wrong;

2. Notwithstanding the previous remark about complexity, the engine appears not to support de-archiving of some of the more obscure ZIP and 7-zip options (particularly "solid archives" and some of the more recent of the half-dozen ZIP encryption schemes) as I occasionally have trouble decrypting archives created under Windows (PowerArchiver 2007 and 2009). No problem in the other direction.

Well and whats for me important: no encryption support for archives.
A reason to stay with an other utility, which does a lot more of things and provides a free quicklook plugin for all(!) kind of archives!!

Thank you HUBBERBUBMAN for your comment -- iArchiver now also handles encypted archives. It can create encrypted Zip and 7zip archives, and it can open encrypted Zip, RAR and 7zip archives.

Unless I am missing something, it appears that you can't modify (append) an archive as you are able to with BetterZip or Springy.

Very nice archiving tool.
The about box says something about "The swiss army knife for archiving", but that's not true! iArchiver is much better than a swiss army knife. Swiss army knifes suck at archiving and iArchiver is an Austrian tool (thank god !).
iArchiver is THE Austrian Archiver.

My grandpa always said: "Never try to hide behind a swiss army knife, that doesn't help." Well, I think Crocodile Dundee would agree.

Very nice app indeed. Its interface to me is much nicer than BetterZip, but I will keep on using BetterZip because of its ability to create rar archives (though you need to purchase a separate license to rar). If the developer could implement this feature then at least I would abandon BetterZip in favor of iArchiver. And the price of iArchiver is simply right!

The price seems to have been raised quite steep. iArchiver has lost its greatest appeal therefor.

Universal archiving tool with a typical mac drag-and-drop userinterface.

This makes working with archives really easy. No more worrying about downloading different tools for every different archive format.

I can never remember how to create those darn tar.gz archives for all my linux geek friends. Now I don't have to. iArchiver makes it as easy as creating a zip file!

Paul Murray had trouble on 16 Sep 2009
All I want is a way to mount a zip file, so that I can point eclipse at the doco inside a zip file without unzipping it.

Dowmloaded "DMGConverter". It only converts DMG to DMG.

Downloded iArchiver. Woo hoo! Does what I want.

Install, run.

Click the "convert" tab. Check.
Drag my archive (B19306_01.zip) onto the left-hand pane. Check.
Select "dmg" on the right hand side. Check.

(Hmmm. DMGConverter had a lot more options here, but that's ok - I can use DMGcoverter once it's in that form.)

Click the "GO!" button .... where's the "go" button? Double click? No ... menu item? no. Preferences? Well - these's this page of checkboxes. Maybe if I check "zip" and DMG" ... Hmm. The icon in the right-hand pane changes. But I don't see progress bars or anything ...

Nope. Give up. Maybe there'll be a reply to this. Maybe they'll do a Snow Leopard bug fix - if that's what it is.

Fellas - you forgot the "go" button.
