If you only need a few files or folders from a larger archive, you don't have to extract the whole thing and remove all the unneeded files. Simply drag the files you need from the BetterZip window to any Finder window or the desktop.
BetterZip can open archives without first extracting them which is fast, really fast. Then search for a file with the search box like in iTunes. BetterZip can open and extract archives with the most common formats: ZIP, SIT, TAR, GZip, BZip2, RAR, 7-Zip, CPIO, ARJ, LZH/LHA, JAR, WAR, CAB, ISO, CHM, RPM, DEB, NSIS, BIN, HQX, DD.
Simply drag files and folders from your hard drives, disks, or network places into your new zip file. You no longer have to copy all the files into a temporary folder first. When you are ready save the archive and everything is packed together.
BetterZip can split large archives into smaller parts.
BetterZip can protect your data with a password and create WinZip® compatible AES-256 encrypted archives. 7-zip and rar archives can also be protected with strong data encryption.
Add new or updated files to existing archives. Remove any file or folder from the archive, or even move files around inside the archive as if it were a normal folder.
Strip Mac specific files and resource forks from archives for best compatibility with systems like Windows or Linux.
Besides the English version BetterZip includes German, French, Italian, and Japanese localizations, each with a complete translation of the documentation.

BetterZip for Mac 3.1.2

BetterZip for Mac provides you with full access to files that have been archived. With BetterZip, you can view, edit, add, and remove files from an archived folder without unzipping the folder. BetterZip has a very clean and easy to understand user interface that shows you all the contents of a zipped file without unzipping the file. One of the great features BetterZip offers is the ‘Clean’ feature which scans archives for files that have not been archived before it was modified and automatically deletes them. The transfer speed of files is very encouraging too. You can easily extract large files over a couple of minutes with a feature that makes working on large archived files very easy by making sure you don’t have to enter your password every time you want to modify these files. If you have a lot of archived files stored on an external drive, you will need something like BetterZip for Mac OS X to gain access to the files and read through them all.

BetterZip for Mac allows you to easily manage archives without having to extract the files that are inside necessarily. There is a keychain feature that lets you have a list of archive passwords for files. This feature makes it possible for you to automatically open any of the archived files without even unzipping them. Better still, BetterZip can give you a preview of the passwords for you to pick any one you want. Though, this amazing feature does not work with Mac OS X keychain and therefore cannot be synced with your iCloud account. Another notable feature is that when you try to work on a damaged archive, BetterZip converts the damaged archive to a password protected archive. The latest version of BetterZip has some notable improvements which include stability, fluidity, and ease of access. Unlike before, BetterZip rarely crashes and security vulnerability in the Quick Look generator has been enhanced to make the program safer to use. BetterZip also acts like a journaling file system by tracking changes before they happen. This makes system restore and file recovery very easy should something go wrong.
If you are looking for a program that handles archives correctly and allows you to modify files without having to unzip them first, then BetterZip is the app that you need.
