BetterZip 6.0.1 fixes a few things
Thank you for all the positive feedback on BetterZip 6! It makes all the work I put into it worth it. So far I haven’t received any negative messages, which makes me very happy. Major releases always come with a dose of nerves for me.
Unfortunately, I missed a change in one of the external tools that BetterZip uses, which led to zip and 7z archives dereferencing symbolic links when packing them. This could break packed apps, as they often contain symlinks. Fortunately, it was a quick fix.
New Features:
- Added Traditional Chinese localization. Thank you, Jimmy Lin!
Enhancements:
- When an update comes with changes to format definitions, the old format definition is backed up and a note with a link to the backup is logged in the transcript window.
- The Share extension now can compress multiple items. Previously this was limited to one at a time.
Bug Fixes:
- Zip and 7z in BetterZip 6.0 would not preserve symbolic links, instead packing the original files. This could break apps, for example, since they usually contain symbolic links. If you packed an app with BetterZip 6 yesterday, please re-pack.
- The position of the Settings window on screen was not correctly saved and restored.
If you find any problems, please do get in touch and report them. Thanks!
