New Features

• BetterZip can now concatenate split files: something.001 + something.002 + ...
• Added a Russian localization by Alexandr Slavyshensky.

Bugs fixed

• File modification times in zip files created with BetterZip were shifted by the timezone offset.
• Folder modification times were always set to the time of the archive creation.
• When RAR files were re-saved they always ended up as multi-volume archives.
• Files in multi-volume RAR archives with missing parts can be previewed and extracted again, if the missing parts are not necessary.
• RAR files with header encryption are handled in a better way now. You get repeated chances to enter the correct password and the archive will no longer be moved to the trash when you cancel the process.
• Only the first part of a multi-volume RAR archive with the old naming scheme (r00,...) was deleted automatically when the deleting option was set.

Hi Robert,

Topic title says it all.. BetterZIP doesn't auto-close it's window after it's done extracting.
I'm extracting a single ZIP file.

Regards,
Lorenzo

P.S. Any estimate on a queue-style extraction system being implemented? A-la The Unarchiver?

I have just uploaded a new beta version to my server. You can get it here or let BetterZip's update mechanism install it.

I have fixed these bugs:

• 1-Click-Save crashed, if the original archive has been deleted in the mean time.
• Changing some settings in the preferences window could crash BetterZip, if a window was closed before the change.
• The open command in the file menu didn't work in version 1.7.1.
• Fixed a possible crash when extracting RAR archives with direct extraction.
• Fixed a problem when moving a file out of a folder, then deleting the folder, and saving the archive.
• CBR archives didn't open correctly.

As you can see, there are some crashers that I was able to track down and fix thanks to the new crash reporter. If you experience any problems with this version, please let me know.

Complain about missing bugs from beta versions.

Ha ha. ;-)

If you find any bugs or problems with BetterZip, please report them here.

Thanks, Robert
