DESCRIPTION
Springy is a simple to use, yet powerful archiving and compression utility for Mac OS X. Springy integrates seamlessly with the Finder and includes some very useful features. All archiving tasks can be done via Drag and Drop or through Springy's Finder contextual menu.

Springy features at a glance:

  • Open and browse the contents of an archive or disk image without extracting any file from it.
  • Quickly extract all files or only files of choice from an archive or disk image.
  • Modify the contents of an existing archive or disk image: add, overwrite, delete and rename files.
  • Full Drag & Drop support for archiving and extracting from and into Finder.
  • Edit and modify any file in an archive or disk image by double click.
  • Archiving and extracting tasks may be accomplished quickly and efficiently using Finder contextual menu.
  • Browsing files in archives and disk images and extracting particular file or folder using hierarchical Finder contextual menu.

Springy supports the following file types: ZIP, TAR, PAX, CPIO, CPGZ, DMG, ISO, GZIP, BZIP2, Unix Compress, RAR, SIT, JAR, WAR, EAR... Support for more types is planned for future releases.

JULY1962  What in the world?! What is going on? Clearly you didn't read carefully. I PURCHASED this shareware and found out after doing so that the files I split are only good if the people I send them to also have Springy! The advertising doesn't state that!

What, do you all work for this guy or are his relatives?  (Version 1.4.2)

SERBIAN  This is the best and far most intuitive archiving utility for Mac OSX IMHO...And I tried a lot...Ease of use and number of supported archiving formats cannot be beaten by anything else..Kudos to developer...

As for previous poster remarks...I think he/she misunderstood the Springy completely...This is not the tool for just splitting and joining files, although it can do that also in more than a good way, this is the ultimate tool for working with LOT of various archive types...I have read the discussion of mentioned poster and developer on Springy forum and I think that the poster simply dont understand anything regarding splitting/concatenate files...For plain split/join you can use built-in UNIX tools..For truly working with archives try Springy..You will be amazed for sure...  (Version 1.4.2)

JULY1962  I purchased this program so that I could split large files and send them to others to recombine at their end. They have a Mac version of this, but unless other Mac users have Springy, they can't use the files. I have been in contact with the designer who has admitted that the program works well with PC's but it still does not fully function with Macs (as far as recombining files) even though their website states: "Supports common and most often archive types, compression methods and disk images: ZIP, TAR, DMG, ISO, GZIP, BZIP2, Unix Compress, RAR, SIT, Java archives JAR, WAR, EAR... Support for more types still to come..."

It doesn't for Macs.  (Version 1.4.2)

COCOMAC1  I have been using Stuffitt Deluxe since ..I was born!

But now I love using Springy for all basic daily needs.

For any files not handled by Springy I do it with the legendary Stuffit.
