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.

I can just say that development on 7zX is finally proceeding in the right direction :wink:

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.

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.

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?

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. :)
