Yeah, I do have that on my list for future enhancements, and it will most probably be in the next update.

That would be really handy! I got rid of The Unarchiver since I read that BZ got auto-extracting in the last update but now I miss the auto-trash feature.

Robert, could you give me an approximate time (like a week, a month, several months) until the next update, so I know I have to bother redownloading The Unarchiver?

Keep up the good work.

Cheers
Miha

I don't have a time table, but I'd say the new version will be ready in June.

Would you also consider automatically closing Better Zip after a 1-click extraction ?

That would give me a nice workflow:
- double click a zip file
- preview it's content in Better Zip, then either:

- drag single files from the archive
- close manually

- 1-click extract whole archive
- BZ closes automatically

This gives you a smoother workflow for the standard (simply extract all, no need to close BZ).
At least an option in the preferences would be a good idea I think.

Cheers

Interesting idea, I'll think about it. Maybe for the expert mode that I'll introduce in one of the next versions.

I hope you add it. *crossingfingers*

Anything new about the delete-after-decompress feature? I'm facing The Unarchiver dilemma again. BZ is great and I hate to install another app just because of that feature :)

I didn't plan it, but I will squeeze in another smaller update in the next two weeks and I'll try to add this feature there.

It's already done, only needs to be translated; will be available in a few days.
