I fixed a small bug in BetterZip’s extension, but I am not really sure that this was connected to the problem.

BETTERZIP QUICKLOOK GENERATOR ARCHIVE


You can have either sync icons or the BetterZip contextual menu. Weirdly, this also seems to collide with folder icons in the Finder’s sidebar. Which extension is used is based on the start order as far as I can tell which is not controlable, since Finder starts and quits extensions as needed. The first extension for any given folder is used to add contextual menus and icons and all other extensions are ignored.
BETTERZIP QUICKLOOK GENERATOR UPDATE
Update on the Finder extension interference with some cloud services’ sync icons: It seems that this is a design limitation of the Finder extension system itself and not in my power to change.

On older system versions the old QL generator will be used like before.įind all the enhancements and bug fixes in the version history. This also works without purchasing a BetterZip license. You can configure a few default settings through BetterZip’s preferences window. Like the old Quick Look generator, the new Quick Look extension is free to use for all users. Unlike the old-style generator, the new extension is not HTML, but based on standard UI elements which gives it a more natural feel and behavior. Using the extension, Finder will be able to show archive previews in its preview sidebar and when in column view where the previous QL generator was not used. While at it, I updated the built-in unrar component and most external helper tools to the latest versions.Īlso new in this version is the new Quick Look extension which will be used on Catalina (macOS 10.15) and Big Sur (macOS 11). All binaries are now universal which means they contain both the Intel and M1 versions in one package and macOS will automatically choose the right version for your Mac. As you may notice, the download is a bit larger than the previous packages. Although it was a lot of work, the addition of the M1 binaries went pretty smoothly. Starting with this new version, BetterZip supports Apple Silicon based Macs natively. With all the upheaval at Twitter, I registered a Mastodon account, so if you want to follow me there, you are very welcome to do so: Download NowīetterZip 5.1 - Native Apple Silicon Support is Here ◆

Lastly, I fixed a few bugs and enhanced BetterZip’s stability.įind all the details in the version history.
BETTERZIP QUICKLOOK GENERATOR INSTALL
If you use Alfred, choose BetterZip > Install Alfred workflows from the menu to install the updated workflows. Since Apple removed Python 2 from macOS, I had to rewrite the Alfred workflows. If you ever run into this problem, set a size limit in BetterZip > Preferences > Quick Look.Īlso, after users requested it, I added an option to not have the BetterZip icon in the Finder contextual menu, only a plain text menu entry. Since compressed tar files can take a time proportionate to their size to list, it can stall the system for a long time, if you try to Quick Look a very large tar archive. I added a size limit for tar archives to be listed in the Quick Look extension. Anyway, there were a few user requests and bug fixes, I wanted to get out before the holiday season. It’s been a while since the last update, but BetterZip 5.2 has been running very well, and I have been busy working on BetterZip 6 already which I plan to release next spring.
