Product Description:

CleanArchiver is a simple and nifty archiving utility.

It supports not only standard archive types such as gzip, bzip2, and zip, but also compressed Disk Image. In addition if the DropStuff application published by Allume Systems Inc. is installed on your system, CleanArchiver can create StuffIt and StuffIt X archives by calling DropStuff via AppleScript.

Moreover CleanArchiver has the ability not to include system files peculiar to Mac OS X such as .DS_Store and custom icon file (Icon\r) in your archive. So your archive is always clean on other operating systems.

CleanArchiver powerfully supports you to create archives with various archive types and convenient options. Ultimately, just CleanArchiver is enough as the archiver put on your Dock.

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

CleanArchiver CommentaryTry this updated version - Version: 2.4a4, 9/22/2009 09:05PM PST

I modified it and embeded info-zip and 7zip into it.
I added multi-volumes archives, compress ratio and password options.
Zip archive mode supports an option to customize filename encoding such as Windows codepages. 7zip supports an options to convert Unicode normalization in NFC which is well used in Windows and Linux. Above two options will help the users who use non-ascii filenames when exchanging archive between Mac and Windows & Linux.
You can use this freely. If you have any questions or problems, ask me anything, please.

CleanArchiver CommentaryInteresting option for a zipit utility - Version: 2.4a4, 5/8/2009 01:43PM PST

Several comments. The help was extremely brief. Even after reading it it was somewhat a guessing game for the utility.
I tried it and dragged 4 files to the utility window. It seemed to work but were or were did it put the zip file? I eventually found it and it was someplace you wouldn't expect to find it. It was on the same volume but in a completely disconnected folder. There doesn't seem to be a default as to where to put the zip file so instead of logically putting it in the same folder it puts it someplace else and you have to go searching for it.
The help needs expansion and either an option to where the zip file should be created or at least default it to the same folder.

CleanArchiver CommentaryProblem with some file types - Version: 2.3.1, 2/19/2008 12:00AM PST

I used CleanArchiver to archive some QuarkXpress 3.3 documents, then I extracted them from the .zip file that CleanArchiver created. This did not involve any burning to disc, or transfer over the internet. I simply created the .zip archive with CleanArchiver, then double-clicked on the .zip file. The file extracted, but it would not open with QuarkXpress 3.3. I could not even force it to open with Quark. The file apparently lost its file type or creator information, and the file's icon was replaced with a plain generic icon. CleanArchiver 2.3.1 should definitely NOT be used to archive QuarkXPress 3.3 documents, because the files when extracted from the archive are unusable, and many hours of work could be permanently lost, if this was the only archive of those files.
