BetterZip Quick Look Generator overview

BetterZip Quick Look Generator lets you view the contents of compressed archives through OS X's Quick Look functions. Simply select an archive in the Finder, in Mail, or Spotlight and press the spacebar. You will immediately be presented with a neatly formatted table of the archive's contents that you can browse.

The currently supported archive formats are: ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, TAR, GZip, BZip2, ARJ, LZH, ISO, CHM, CAB, CPIO, DEB, RPM, SIT, DiskDoubler, BinHex, and MacBinary.

You can change various view options, set whether hidden files in the archive should be displayed or not, and whether you wish to look into file packages.

For whatever reason macupdate doesn't show the direct download link. I prefer to not download through the apple store so here it is https://macitbetter.com/BetterZip.zip

1.5

Version: 1.5

Can't get it to work on 10.6.8 (I logged out and in, restarted the Mac, reset Quick Look framework etc). I wonder if the issue lies with this bundle being created with Mavericks SDK. I did never use it before, so I can't say anything about previous versions.

New v1.5 stopped working on Mountain Lion (actually it worked once after just replaced the old v1.2 file, and stopped working at all after a quick look reset). 3 stars for now, meant to be 5.

I really love it, but version 1.5 is not saving preferences under Mavericks 10.9.5. Four stars for now, five when fixed.

Wow. A life save and a must-have. Thank you so much. Works on Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - tested with zip, rar, 7zip archives NOTE: Contrary to the instruction file I had no QuickLook folder in the Library. So I had to create a folder named QuickLook in /Library. Easy. Then I put the generator package there. Pressing tab on a selected archive worked right away. Try this method.

The rows in the displayed list of files are too far apart (too much spacing). Only about 15 files can be seen in a standard view. I think the line density should be at least three times higher. Also, I really miss the ability to close and open folders hierarchically.

Invisible files are showing up in the list even if they are ticked off in the "Configuration" section of BetterZip!!! (The same thing goes for package contents.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! If your don't use this QL plugin your missing out, most QL plugins died on SL but this kept on kicking and now is even updated. The dev could have made this plugin only compatible with betterzip but allows even those who don't own betterzip to use it, and function fully. I would definitely thank the developer with a donation or buy betterzip or at least an email of appreciation. No I am not affiliated with the dev, I just think we should help the dev keep making our computers handle archives easier, taking less time, and a lot less headaches. Good mac software at a good price.

Was great when it worked, but really needs to be updated. The list it displays is jumbled at the top, as shown in this pic: http://i47.tinypic.com/33degir.jpg
