I just want to be able to drill into ZIP or other archive files, like any regular folder. Drag files in and out of the archive, view and even edit them from within the archive. You know, basic functionality offered by Windows Explorer for decades now.
I haven’t even found any free/OSS archive utilities that really implement this as effectively as Windows out of the box. All you can really do with an archive in MacOS is... decompress it to the current folder. Really?
- frizzlebox 4y agoI know you’re not asking for this, but in case you haven’t come across it before: You can drill into zip files using QuickLook (i.e. by hitting space bar) with this QLGenerator: https://betterzip.com/BetterZip-Quick-Look-Generator/ https://betterzip.com/BetterZip-Quick-Look-Generator/
- timrichard 4y agoI use Forklift for those things. I hardly ever touch Finder. It isn't free, but it's a great orthodox-style file manager (with optional Norton Commander keys) with many other features.
