Now you can edit your comments there.Wait, there’s more: ZIP is a widely used file format and I get ninehundretandfourtyseven emails a year asking for this and that filename extension to be added to BetterZip, because they are really just ZIP files. When no file is selected, there is this big empty space that no one needs. The place for this is the sidebar on the right side that can normally show a preview of the currently selected file. ![]() BetterZip 3 displays these comments and lets you edit them. You know that the ZIP and RAR format support archive comments, which are a special field inside the archive that can be read and edited, but which are not extracted as files. The Quick Look generator has always been and remains free to use for everyone, but there is one neat new feature that requires a BetterZip license: You can now click a file in the Quick Look panel, at which point command is handed over to BetterZip which extracts and displays the clicked file.New in version 3 is support for XZ archives, winmail.dat files, Apple Disk Images (DMG), and ePub files.Another new addition to BetterZip 3 is the extensive AppleScript support which lets you build workflows using BetterZip’s compression and extraction functions.And then there are archive comments. But you won’t learn all the rarely used words of the English language and you won’t have funny combinations every now and then.The popular BetterZip Quick Look Generator has now been integrated into the application. If you like the Safari style better, you can use that, too. It’s similar to Safari’s, but uses English words, loosely based on. When working with gigabyte archives however, the Direct Mode is a huge timesaver.Next, BetterZip 3 adds a password generator which suggests strong passwords whenever you need them. If I didn’t miscount, I have released exactly over the years and today BetterZip is a very powerful and stable application which I am quite proud of. Ten years ago on this day, months before the first iPhone was revealed to the world when Apple was a much smaller company focused on making excellent personal computers (“aah, those were the days” says this old man), I released the first version of BetterZip. Ten Years of BetterZip and Release of Version 3.1.1Robert, Tempus fugit – time flies. BetterZip 3.2 ReleasedRobert, I have just released BetterZip 3.2. ![]() 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. There are many new features and improvements in this new version, but the main focus this time was on automating BetterZip and the integration with other productivity tools like Automator, Alfred, LaunchBar, DropZone, and Hazel.So, what’s new?I have made a that lists all the exciting new things in BetterZip 4, but let me pick out a few that I like especially:My personal favorite is the new Finder extension which puts all your presets in the Finder’s toolbar.
