BetterZip 1.7 cannot extract encrypted Zip-archives
Hi Robert,
their appears to be an issue with BetterZip version 1.7 (223) and encrypted Zip-files. Whilst they can be opened, they cannot be extracted. Trying to do so results in this error message:
"The archive extraction failed. The transcript drawer may contain further details."
This is the message from the transcript drawer:
"Loading archive: /Users/Thomas/Desktop/Archive/080619.zip

The archive was created using BetterZip. It makes no difference whether I use PKzip2 or AES-256 encryption. Unencrypted Zip-files work fine though. Also, the archives I created do not seem to be corrupted since I am able to unpack them with PathFinder, 7zX, and Zipeg.
My OS version is 10.5.3
