WHAT'S NEW
THIS UPDATE WILL CLEAR YOUR PREFERENCES SO MAKE SURE TO WRITE DOWN YOUR REGISTRATION INFO!

Version 1.3:

  • much simpler in many ways
  • smarter par2 handling

  • preferences [probably] fixed for those who where having issues

BEAMY  EZ 7z is a great 7zip tool.

It would be nice if it would automatically save the 7zip archive (next to the file which you want to compress or to a standard location which the user can choose eg Desktop).

It would also be nice if it would remember the compression level which you used.

FORMICA  This version seems like a nice app, but instead of having a text field where we can drag and drop a file AND can enter the file path (a.k.a. location) of a file to compress -- which is a time consuming way to do it, it would be better to have a text field where we can drag and drop a file and a BUTTON that would bring up an open dialog to find the file to compress, OR ALL 3. Otherwise, I like it and look forward to using it.

LEIFH  "..., but instead of having a text field where we can drag and drop a file AND can enter the file path (a.k.a. location) of a file to compress -- which is a time consuming way to do it..."

It's useful to be have the ability to type in the location if you need to work with hidden files. I agree the image drop was redundant so I removed it. Also you can go to file->open file or open folder. They also have keyboard shortcuts.

MSWFUJOWDFFYC  The update function doesn't appear to work in .65 and the dialog displayed when you can't connect says "you're internet is down" when it should be "your internet is down."

I suppose I could have sent this via e-mail to check if my internet was down, though. ;)

Beyond that, I'm pretty happy with the application.

I agree with the previous comment of writing the last used compression to the plist, and making it default to the same folder that the files/folder the user is trying to 7zip is in.

Another suggestion would be to make the file name blank by default or make it the folder being 7zipped.

Anyway, thanks for the great app!

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Clear your browser's cache or use another browser and try downloading the file again. I just now downloaded the file using the link here at MacUpdate via Safari. It is version 1.00 beyond any and all doubt.
