Requirements
- Intel, 64-bit processor
- OS X 10.9 or later
Pass: osxvn
- Extract Only Files You Really Need: If you only need a few files or folders from a larger archive, you don't have to extract the whole thing. Simply drag the files you need from the BetterZip window to any Finder window or the desktop.
- Open Archives Without Extracting: Not only can BetterZip open archives without first extracting them but you can also search for a file using the iTunes-like interface. BetterZip can open and extract archives with the most common formats: ZIP, SIT, TAR, XAR, XZ, GZip, BZip2, RAR, 7-Zip, CPIO, ARJ, LZH/LHA, JAR, WAR, CAB, ISO, CHM, RPM, DEB, NSIS, BIN, HQX, DMG, EPUB, and Winmail.dat.
- Create Archives: Simply drag files and folders from your hard drives, disks, or network places into your new zip file. You no longer have to copy all the files into a temporary folder first. The supported formats are ZIP, TAR, GZip and BZip2 compressed TAR, XAR, 7-ZIP, and RAR (using the external RAR commandline tool). Large archives can also be split.
- Protect Your Data: BetterZip can protect your data with a password and create AES-256 encrypted archives. 7-zip and rar archives can also be protected.
- Update Archives: Add new or updated files to existing archives. Remove any file or folder from an archive, or even move files around inside the archive as if it were a normal folder.
- Make Archives Compatible: Strip Mac-specific files and resource forks from archives for best compatibility with systems like Windows or Linux.
BetterZip 3.1.2 Fixes a Security Vulnerability in the Quick Look Generator
If you use the BetterZip Quick Look Generator, don’t miss this upgrade. Michał Bentkowski disovered a vulnerability which exists in all previous versions of BetterZip 3. I am not aware of any exploits in the wild, but Michał sent me a proof-of-concept archive. Basically, an attacker could craft an archive that could lead to an application or script being executed on your Mac when being “quick looked”. I am not elaborating on the vulnerability to protect users of the old versions for now. Michał will publish the details in a blog post in a few weeks time, since it was a quite interesting case.
Beside the QL vulnerability BetterZip 3.1.2 fixes these bugs:

Beside the QL vulnerability BetterZip 3.1.2 fixes these bugs:
- Choosing a save or extract preset from the menu didn’t work under certain conditions.
- Extracting files while the preview for the right sidebar was still being generated could result in an empty file.
- Fixed two rare crashers.
