The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for "BOMArchiveHelper.app", the built-in archive unpacker program in Mac OS X. The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than BOMArchiveHelper, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. Supported file formats include zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, rar, 7zip, LhA, StuffIt and many other more or less obscureformats. Support for so many formats is achieved by using the libxad unarchiving library.
What's new in this:
- Should run on 10.4 again, and maybe even 10.3.9. 2.7 accidentally broke compatibility with them.
- Available on the App Store!
- Support for ISO and BIN disc images.
- Support for encrypted StuffIt archives, thanks to a friendly archivist.
- Workaround for broken Zip archives that make files non-executable.
- Fixed unpacking .pkg files.
- Better StuffIt X support.
- Other bugfixes.
Supported os:
Mac OS X
The Unarchiver is a Mac OS X app, but the underlying unarchiving code can be run on other OS too. There is so far no GUI app for any other OS, but there are two command-line tools, unar and lsar, which can be used on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. These are in development and should be considered beta software, but do work.
Price:
Freeware
