Zipper is a tool for inspecting the contents of a compressed archive and for extracting.
I know that there`s a GNUstep port of the famous OpenUp application but I must admit that for a living I have to use Windoze at work. After a while I got quite used to Winzip`s UI.
Although I don`t like some of its features, what I really like is the content listing of an archive without actually having to unpack it. This is what Zipper currently tries to mimic. This has also the advantage that you don`t have to unpack archives from networked volumes to your local disk just to view what`s in it.
Zipper has a single window, that displays the contents of the selected archive.
Here are some key features of "Zipper":
· Add more extraction methods: zoo,arj,rpm,deb,ar
· Display more status/progress info when archiving and unarchiving
· Drag`n`Drop executables to the Preferences dialog
· Drag`n`Drop extraction to GWorkspace
· Display archive structure in NSOutlineView
· Before extracting the archive, check if files exist and ask user what should happen
· Handle password-protected archives
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Resolve an issue with 7zip archives on system where only the 7za binary is avalable but no 7z executable (Thanks to Richard Stonehouse for reporting this issue)
· The output of unzip changed, causing Zipper to skip the first entry in the zip file. This is fixed now by using -qq when listing the zip file, this skips all nice headers and footers that unzip displays.
