BetterZip 3.0.4

Robert, 2016-01-20

BetterZip 3.0.4 fixes a few issues:

• Special folder icons were not preserved correctly in archives.
• Automatically setting the archive’s date to the latest date of any file inside didn’t work when using Direct Mode or the “Compress with BetterZip” service.
• The hidden setting for automatically dropping file extensions for single file archives didn’t work in Direct Mode or the “Compress with BetterZip” service.
• “Hide BetterZip” during archive operations didn’t work in some cases.
• I added tbz2 as recognized extension for BZip2 compressed TAR archives.
• Fixed the column headers in preset configuration.
• TAR archives with intermediary “.” folders couldn’t be extracted as a whole.
• Fixed a possible crasher bug related to the file browser.

Since the Deflate64 compression method which was used for zip archives compressed with the “best, but slower” setting is not supported by Apple’s Archive Utility, I have gone back to using the normal Deflate method. You can still get this, by adding -mm=Deflate64 as an “additional parameter”.
