I decided to post a small update for the 1.4 series before moving to the heavy stuff.
The latest release of 7zX supports Growl, a powerful notification system for Mac OS X, and fixes a minor bug which could (once again) affect the creation of Self-Extracting Archives.
This is great software glad you released it. Just in time too. I was able to compress my school project from 110MB to 21MB … thats a hugh difference. Thanks for making it easy!
I even posted about it in my blog … that’s how excited I was about it.
Thanks for your support.
For some reason I haven’t been able to create and decode a safe 7zip archive (preserving type, creator, and resource forks). I’ve opened 7zX 1.4.3 by itself (on OS X 10.3.9) and selected the Safe 7zip format; then it quit and I dropped a folder on it to create a .s7z archive (impressive compression ratio), but on de-archiving no Mac directory info/resource forks were there. Any hints?
Hmm. The creation of Safe 7-Zip archives relies on Apple components which have been probably updated with the introduction of Mac OS X 10.4 in order to support resource forks.
I hoped the same changes had been applied to 10.3.9, but it looks like I’m out of luck. I’m actually thinking of a solution. Thanks for the important report.
How exactly does the safe method work? I’m interested because the program BetterZip can also create ‘safe’ archives using the same method that OS X uses for zip and tar (ie, no special file format, just extra files inside the archive). It’d be great if you could both be compatible – nothing against s7z but I think the OS X way is, well, more OS X like
. Plus it means you don’t have to worry about using “safe” or not, you can just use it all the time because anyone can extract it.
I do not want to disclose any details. I can just say that development on 7zX is finally proceeding in the right direction
Ooh, cryptic comments
. Will this “right direction” become apparent in 1.5?
Most probably not with 1.5.0. There are a few things I would like to rewrite from scratch before implementing that encoding method. Despite this, the next release of 7zX will be packed with new features. It isn\’t really going to leave you disappointed.
Yep….
I couldn’t have said it better myself……
