DESCRIPTION
BetterZip lets you quickly inspect archives without first extracting their contents.
  • Add or extract files via drag-and-drop.
  • Create password protected archives (even with WinZip compatibility).
  • Delete files from archives.
  • Make archives compatible with Windows and Linux systems.
Currently supported formats: zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, rar, 7-zip, cpio, arj, lzh/lha, cab, iso, chm, rpm, deb. More to follow soon...
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.6.2:
  • Command+Option+F: Set focus to toolbar search field (like in Finder, iTunes, and Mail).
  • Tweaked preferences window icons.
  • The direct extraction progress window now remembers its position.
  • Filenames containing characters that could be interpreted by the shell like (), <>, |, &, $, \, ', ` would not work.
  • If opening failed while an empty window was open, BetterZip would fall into one infinite loop asking for a password.
  • I you wanted to add an archive into another archive by clicking the toolbar button "Add", the archive would be opened instead.
  • When checking or unchecking the Kind colum in the preferences nothing happened until you checked or unchecked something else.
  • Direct extract with an open empty document didn't do anything.
Version 1.6.1:
  • Fixed an issue with international character file names.
  • RTFD files can now be viewed and previewed.
  • Concurrent direct extractions would terminate after the first has finished.
  • Various smaller enhancements and bug fixes.
Version 1.6:
  • Upon popular demand, BetterZip now has an option to make direct extraction the default. When this option is checked, BetterZip will immediately extract archives instead of opening them in a window. Find this new option in the preferences window on the General tab. It's off by default.
  • An archive's file format is no longer determined by the file extension, but by analyzing the actual file data. This is more secure and flexible.
  • Opening larger archives with thousands of files is a lot faster now.
  • Fixed two possible hangs and a number of bugs.
  • Enhanced Leopard compatibility.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

RICCO HO  This tool is really handy. It provides a very great file listing function such that I can decide to extract a particular file rather than the whole archive.

The performance is not bad too. Great work!  (Version 1.6.2)

CALL ME YO DADDY  This is simply the most intuitive and feature rich compression tool I have ever seen or used on both a PC and Mac. I'm very glad I stumbled upon this little tool.

Looks like the best just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work guys.   (Version 1.6.1)

DARYLF2  I frequently open large to very large (tens of MB to several GB) archives, and BetterZip 1.6 is much MUCH faster opening them! This is an excellent update to an already very good product.  (Version 1.6)

GREGORGY  I downloaded this once as it gave me the ability to look inside a large collection of old ZIPs without extracting them. Then, I forgot about it. It had served its purpose. The, it came up on a MU Promo so I bought it. I do not think I would be able to get by without it nowadays. Definitely a great piece of work!

The ability to peak inside a zip and only take the parts you need is indispensable...  (Version 1.6)
