Product 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.
- BetterZip lets you quickly preview image, pdf, html, and text files in a drawer.
What's new in this version:
Changes
- Holding down the command key and opening an archive while BetterZip is already running now extracts the archive directly.
- Filebrowser does no longer go into the autofs folder /net which could hang the program.
- Various file types (e.g., ZIP) could not be associated with BetterZip due to a change in Leopard. The type system in Mac OS X is still not very predictable. For best results open the preferences, go to the tab «File Types», click the «Handle None» button and then either click the «Handle All» button or select which file types BetterZip should handle using the check boxes in the list.
- The archive mode icon in the status bar was clipped on Leopard.
- Fixed a possible hang when extracting an archive containing a circular symbolic link.

Couldn't be happier.
As a photographer it's essential that I supply my clients with uncompressed image archives. BetterZip does the job seamlessly.

Have just given this another go after trying a long time ago when I was demo'ing different archiving software. It's very good but two things would make it perfect:
1) A contextual menu plugin, so you can extract archives etc all via right click. Another mac archiver, Springy, has this but I prefer BetterZip's GUI.
2) When you open a file from within an archive, edit it and save it, BetterZip should recognise this and give you the option of saving the archive with the edited file. This is pretty standard practice in most archiving software I have used. As it is you have to extract the file, edit it, then manually re-save it into the archive, which is a bit fiddly.
