The Unarchiver
Every day we must move files from one folder to another, or from one computer to another computer. To save time and reduce the file size when sending files, often we archive files into ZIP format. By default OS X to extract the ZIP file types, but not so for other file types.

Introduce The Unarchiver, as the name suggests, this application can extract the archive file types are commonly used. The Unarchiver supports file types Zip, RAR, 7-zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, Stuffit, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ, ARC, ISO, BIN even some EXE files ending in. The price is also sweet, alias free. List of supported file more than I mentioned, can be seen in the window Preferencesnya. Preferences its not much that can be set, the default settings will suffice.

I have used The Unarchiver since the version of OS X Leopard. This application is an application that must be installed on every Mac that I use.

If you receive a file 7-zip or RAR that has solved no need to be confused anymore. The Unarchiver able to combine and break a file into small pieces.

Unarchiver works in the background so it does not bring up the icon in the Dock. He will replace the default OS X unzip and handle other file types. You do not need to run it, it runs automatically once installed.

In the latest version, The Unarchiver supports sandboxing that must be supported by every application available in the App Store. Unfortunately with sandboxing, The Unarchiver will continue asking questions when opening a file, rather inhibited, anyway ... But its function is maintained scar.

Please install The Unarchiver to extract Zip files, RAR and others
