Developer Note: Why bother? ZIP + JPEG = ZIPEG
Dear Zipeg User,
Here is some explanation of “why yet another archive extractor”?
I basically developed it for myself at first because I liked WinZip on Windows and lacked ease of archive browsing when I switched to OS X. Though there are many other archivers I needed something that reflects my un-archiver usage pattern.
I’ve noticed that I rarely create zip files myself but when friends send me photos from the last party I want to preview them before extracting all.
All modern digital JPEG photographs contains tiny EXIF header with a thumbnail in it. Zipeg extracts and shows this thumbnail, and let me decide which files I really want to unzip.
Frequently, when installing open source software, I usually unzip into the same directory first (namely e.g. /User/leo/tmp//) and than work from there.
And in some occasions, I want to navigate inside the archive and simply drag and drop single file or image to desktop without unzipping all 100,000 files from my svn-tar-ball.
I understand that in a way Zipeg is inferior to some of the Bigger Brothers – but I want to develop it further, add more formats and simple to use features.
I would love to hear your comments, critique and suggestions for further development. I enjoyed making it for you. Hope you will find it useful.
Enjoy.
