By far the best of the pack. Great app.
I would even pay for this.

It always has been a cool tool, but now with the adition of the (working) progress bar and the other improvements in the file type management it's just great.

I was used to Rucksack (archiver) cuz was easy and has a pretty UI but it cost some bucks and it's queue management sucks. I like how Keka doeas the compresion queue part (still can be inproved). And the best of all is + opensource, fact that i really love. =)

Now after the v1.0.2 the only thing which is still missing is some cute icons for the document types.

After using lots of compression softs, Keka remains the best for me.

Just when I thought Keka couldn’t get any better, the addition of a progress bar has made it even more gratifying to use. Never thought about it before, but now I can’t do without it.

Version 1.0 also seems a hair faster than before, but just a hair.

I only have 2 things on my wish list. I’d love it if a preference could somehow be fashioned to keep Keka’s Dock icon from sliding up/down when I drag a file to it. If I pull the file smack-dab into the middle of the Dock icon there’s no problem, but I’m usually too rushed to hit it just right and have to fish up or down to get the icon to sit still long enough to nail it. Obviously, this is a design fault of the Dock rather than Keka, but a fix from either quarter would be welcome.

My other wish is for a new Keka icon — though it’s definitely creative and unique, it still grosses me out. I must have had an incident with a similar critter as a child that I’ve conveniently blocked from memory, but I nevertheless have a visceral reaction every time I need to compress a file!

But in every other way, Keka is a truly great app, and I thank the dev for his/her gift.

One of the best compression/extraction utility. Simple, fast and clean. A big THX to the developer!

Keka has been working for me very good for a long time as the standard application for expanding zip archives etc.

Recently I had a problem: When trying to unzip the text editor EDDIE 2.1 (http://el34software.com/latest/Eddie%20OSX%202.1.zip) with keka 0.1.4.2 , I got a prompt requiring a password (although there is no password set) and could not unzip the zip file.
(with the built-in archiving tool in OS 10.6 it works perfectly.)

Kind regards

Keka 1.4.1 has a major bug that keeps it from closing - not just when it's finished compressing or extracting, but all the time. The only way to shut it down is to force quit. This is one of my favorite must=have apps, but this version is a bit sickly. I'll alert its developers.
