BetterZip 3.0.1

Robert, 2015-06-01

Less than two weeks ago I released BetterZip 3 and from the feedback I got I think you like it as much as I do. The number of crash reports has gone back dramatically, but some new bugs have appeared. This was somewhat expected, since I rewrote or at least touched nearly every part of BetterZip. Thanks for the patient and friendly error reporting to everyone who wrote in! I have now fixed the most serious bugs and two crashers with the new updated version 3.0.1.

These bugs have been fixed:

• BetterZip could crash when extracting archives with the operations queue.
• On OS X 10.9 zip and 7z archives couldn’t be quick looked in the Finder.
• Canceling Direct Mode toggling via the toolbar didn’t work correctly.
• Fixed a superfluous error message when extracting a folder while also selecting its contents.
• The progressbar didn’t always update correctly when saving archives.
• Compressing files by dropping them on the queue window was broken.
• Password handling was not working correctly in some situation.

There are two small enhancements I made:

• Clicking the toolbar button “Save” for an existing archive now saves it instead of using the default toolbar button preset to re-save it. If you don’t want this new behavior, you can stay with the old one by switching it on the “Hidden Settings” page in the BetterZip help.
• Included the latest unrar library 5.2.7.

There are still some bugs open that I know of and that will be fixed with the next updates.
