... but I don't have any 7-Zip for Mac to tell you about now, unfortunately. Just as you probably imagine already, we're going to talk about an archiver for Mac that doesn't come for free, but at least packs support for most popular archive formats, and if you have to pay for this... so be it!
Springy is the name, and 1.5.2 is the version number of this archiver for Mac I have for you today. The feature list is pretty long, as you can see below:
- Open and browse the contents of an archive or disk image without being forced to extract any file from it.
- Quickly extract all files or only files of choice from an archive or disk image.
- Modify the contents of an existing archive or disk image on the fly: add, overwrite, delete and rename files in the archive or disk image.
- Full Drag & Drop support for archiving and extracting from and into Mac OS X Finder.
- Edit and modify any file in an archive or disk image by double click.
- Live preview of many types of files inside archive, without extracting.
- Archiving and extracting tasks may be accomplished quickly and efficiently using Finder contextual menu.
- Browsing files in archives and disk images and extracting particular file or folder using hierarchical Finder contextual menu.
- Support for all most widely used archiving and compression formats: ZIP, TAR, RAR, PAX, CPIO, CPGZ, GZIP, BZIP2, Unix Compress, SIT, JAR and DMG and ISO disk images. Support for more will come in future releases.
Priced at $19.95 as a single license, Springy is also available to purchase as family/site license, priced at $24.95/$34.95. The system requirements aren't scary at all, since any Mac starting with the G3 should be enough, as long as it has 256 MB of memory, 20 MB free space on disk, and Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
