What's New in BetterZip 4

Here is a short list of the most important new features and enhancements in the latest generation of BetterZip.

Integration with Other Apps

The Favorites Sidebar Received Some Love

In the new version you can rename, copy, move, and delete archives, open an archive in a new window or a new tab, display and treat multi-volume archives as one item. You can also choose to show all files in the sidebar instead of only archives. Also, Finder labels!

New Drop Bar

Drop files on the new Drop Bar with drop areas for your favorite presets to instantly compress or extract them.

Navigation Bar

Drill into folders by double-clicking them like in Finder. A folder path is displayed above the archive contents which gives you easy navigation to all parent folders and allows you to drop items directly into them.

Keep Archives Free of Mac Stuff

When modifying an archive that currently has no Mac specific stuff (metadata, Finder settings, etc.) in it you can now keep all Mac stuff out, add Mac stuff to the archive, or be asked every time what you want to do. Set your preferred option on the General tab of the BetterZip preferences.

Repair RAR Archives

If you install the external rar command line tool, BetterZip 4 can try to repair damaged archives when opening or extracting them. Recovery volumes are now treated like other parts of a multi-volume rar archives.
