Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
We were impressed by Unarchiver for Mac, a free, supereasy app for opening almost all compressed file types. It integrates easily with your computer and worked perfectly in our tests.
As soon as you download Unarchiver for Mac, a little pop-up window will prompt you to customize the application to specify which files it should handle, where to save the extracted files, and whether the compressed file should be deleted after decompression. After that initial setup, you'll see the program's icon automatically anytime a compressed file is detected. Double-click the detected compressed file, and Unarchiver does the rest. You will still have the option to send files to a specific location, but this can be done on the fly. We tested it on each of the supported file types and were impressed with how quickly and accurately the decompression process proved to be. There isn't much user guidance or support provided for the app, but we didn't encounter any issues during our evaluation.
For its ease of use and top-notch performance, we recommend Unarchiver for Mac to anyone who frequently works with compressed files.
The Unarchiver - Unarchive ZIP, TAR, SIT, RAR, and 7-Zip files - Download Video Previews:Publisher's Description
From Dag Agren:
The Unarchiver supports more formats than I can remember. Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, 7-Zip, Rar, LhA, StuffIt, several old Amiga file and disk archives, CAB, LZX, stuff I don't even know what it is. It copies the finder file-copying/moving/deleting interface for its interface and uses the character set auto-detection code from Mozilla to auto-detect the encoding of the filenames in the archives. The Unarchiver supports split archives for certain formats, like RAR. It is built around libxad. This is an old Amiga library for handling unpacking of archives. It supports a whole lot of formats, and I added a couple more, and bugfixed old code. I also wrote a higher-level Objective-C wrapper around it, which might be useful for other projects too (including Xee).
What's new in this version:
- Added Bulgarian translation.
- Fix a bug that would make files with invalid filenames not work in Zip and Exe files.
- Fix some small memory leaks.
- Read-only attributes for files in archives are now ignored. This caused some files not to extract correctly in older versions.
- Fix a bug with parsing Tar files.

"All in all i like it."
Version: The Unarchiver 3.7
Pros
Generally it works fine
Cons
If you have more than 2 zip-files: with some it works fine, you can open all together. But there are zip-files, you have to open after the 2nd file each separately.
In Preferences you cannot fix it, that it expands from the beginning in the same file. The first zip-file you have always to authorise.
