・BetterZip 4 also comes with Automator actions for extracting and compressing as part of a workflow. Use the tools menu in the preset configuration to add a service for the preset with a name of your choosing. ・BetterZip 4 lets you define as many services as you like instead of the preconfigured two that prior versions offered. Of course, you can also invoke any of your extraction presets on selected archives.
Select some files in Finder, click the BetterZip button and choose one of your presets from the drop-down menu to create an archive with these files. ・The new Finder extension puts all your presets in the Finder’s toolbar. ・Make Archives Compatible: Strip Mac-specific files and resource forks from archives for best compatibility with systems like Windows or Linux. Remove any file or folder from an archive, or even move files around inside the archive as if it were a normal folder. ・Update Archives: Add new or updated files to existing archives.
7-zip and rar archives can also be protected. ・Protect Your Data: BetterZip can protect your data with a password and create AES-256 encrypted archives. The supported formats are ZIP, TAR, GZip and BZip2 compressed TAR, XAR, 7-ZIP, and RAR (using the external RAR commandline tool). You no longer have to copy all the files into a temporary folder first. ・Create Archives: Simply drag files and folders from your hard drives, disks, or network places into your new zip file. BetterZip can open and extract archives with the most common formats: ZIP, SIT, TAR, XAR, XZ, GZip, BZip2, RAR, 7-Zip, CPIO, ARJ, LZH/LHA, JAR, WAR, CAB, ISO, CHM, RPM, DEB, NSIS, BIN, HQX, DMG, EPUB, and Winmail.dat. ・Open Archives Without Extracting: Not only can BetterZip open archives without first extracting them but you can also search for a file using the iTunes-like interface. Simply drag the files you need from the BetterZip window to any Finder window or the desktop. ・Extract Only Files You Really Need: If you only need a few files or folders from a larger archive, you don't have to extract the whole thing. Processor type(s) & speed: 64-bit processorīetterZip lets you quickly inspect archives without first extracting their contents.
