Product Description:

GUI Tar is a wrapper application which acts as the front end to the 7za, tar, gzip, bzip2, unrar, and unzip UNIX utilities. The operating system itself handles the complicated work, while GUI Tar provides a pleasant and easy method to interact with these system tools. GUI Tar is divided into two sections: Extractor and Compressor.

GUI Tar Extractor offers the functionality of its sister application Untar 1.3.2 by being able to uncompress and extract files from archives. The following files can be opened by Extractor: .7z, .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .dmg.gz, .svgz, .gz, .tar.z, .z, .Z, .tar.Z, .taz, .tbz, .tbz2, .bz, .bz2, .rar, and .zip.

GUI Tar Compressor can compress and/or archive a collection of files in .7z, .bz2, .tar, .tbz, .tgz, .gz, or .Z formats. Archive files and folders from multiple locations, instead of being restricted to just one directory.

What's new in this version:

  • Archives will now extract the files into their own containing folder.
  • Uncompressing Zip files excludes the unnecessary __MACOSX files.
  • Compressor file list displays the size of the files.
  • Minor interface changes

GUI Tar Troubleshooting ReportKeeps crashing after every compression - Version: 1.1.1, 6/4/2008 11:21AM PST

I dont know why, but it keeps crashing after every compression on my leopard systems. The compressed file (archive) is there and will work fine. Hence not a real problem.

GUI Tar ReviewGet it done - Version: 1.1.0, 6/21/2007 02:41PM PST

I was looking for a simple GUI for tar.

Sure sure, cli is easy, but . . . sometimes you just want to get the job done! Well, this is it.

It works 100%. Drag and drop? Oh ya. Zero worries. Install it, use it. That's what you want.

Why a GUI for tar when a right click on any file allows you "archive" any file? I like to use tar, not zip, when working with unix and mac users.

Just one comment, it does leave a bit ditritus in the form of a folder called __MACOSX when you extract.
