BetterZip 5.0.2 More Bug Fixes

Robert, 2020-07-08

Here are some more bug fixes for version 5.

• Opening certain types of zip archives could crash BetterZip.
• The volume size setting in presets for the rar format could lead to problems when the size was greater than the actual archive.
• Prevent a crash when extracting files while they were already extracted for the preview.
• The encoding detection for Windows zip files didn’t always work correctly.
• BetterZip no longer trims whitespace characters in the filename patterns in presets.
• Automator, AppleScript: When extracting with a preset, the settings for conflict resolution were ignored and when the preset was set to show the save panel, it stopped the worklflow.
• After a compression Automator action, BetterZip quit too fast for Automator, possibly breaking workflows. I have added a short delay to allow Automator to continue.
• Extracting individual files that had previously been previewed could take longer than expected or even hang completely.
• Sometimes the __MACOSX folder was not hidden regardless of the option in the View menu.

If you find any problems, please do get in touch and report them. Thanks!
