Very useful but lacks one feature...

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: Aeschylus1 Tuesday, December 26 2006 @ 04:08 AM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

I have found this to be easy to use, fast, and not at all ugly because it is in Java (mmaybe because it is so much nicer that Windows zip programs). I would love to use this as my regular unzipper, but it lacks one very important feature: Zipeg cannot read or extract encrypted zip files.

BetterZip does have this feature, and some of the browsing ability of Zipeg, but it cannot show the icons or allow inspection to the degree that Zipeg does.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but until Zipeg adds the ability to decrypt (with password, of course) WinZip files, it cannot be my main unzipper.

version 1.4 supports AES strong 256 bit encryption. Give it a try. Let me know via support at zipeg . com if it does not work for some reason.

obviously you know it now handles them correct? I use jzip on the windows side and was hoping they would have an OS X version out by now but found zipeg in the meantime and it works great!
