BetterZip 2.3.1

BetterZip 2.3.1 is here. It’s mainly a bug fix release. If you bought a license in the Mac App Store, starting with this version you can use the updates from my web server too. The other way around is still not possible due to Apple not allowing it. Currently the only difference between the two versions is the installation of the external rar utility which is fully automated in the non-MAS version while you have to download and install rar manually in the MAS versions. In the future Apple might introduce new rules for what is allowed and what isn’t for Mac App Store apps, so being able to transfer your MAS license is a good safety net for you and me.
A big thanks to Zelu House for the new Spanish localization!
Here is a list of the bugs I fixed in 2.3.1:
- Fixed a small memory leak.
- Fixed a crash when extracting 7-zip archives with a custom-set, invalid temp folder.
- DEB archives were not handled correctly in some cases.
- Fixed compression of symbolic links.
- Fixed the file attributes when extracting certain executables zipped on a Windows box.
- Extracting a single folder from a SIT archive didn’t work.
- “No compression” didn’t work for files larger than 4GB.
- When directly extracting a rar file, passwords were not tried automatically, even if the option to do so was set in the preferences.
- When changing the order of presets, the default choices were lost.
- Fixed the 1-click “Download & Install” function for the external rar commandline utility.
And two enhancements:
- You can now unset the default and service presets in the preset configuration.
- 1024px application icon for retina display Macs.
