iUnarchive for Desktop
Keep it clean
Instead of cluttering the disk with files you can preview and open files directly from within iUnarchive.
With iUnarchive, you can create, modify and open archives.
You can open passworded .zip and .rar files, nested archives and a truckload of other archive file types.
You can preview images, documents, presentations and view programming language source files including syntax highlighting.
You can search within the archive for a file name or expand and collapse folder trees that display the file path in the search results.
Preview files before extracting
iUnarchive makes it possible to preview files without actually having to extract them first.
This saves time when you just want to preview a couple of files in a large archive. What's even better, you aren't cluttering you disk with folders and files trying to find that one file you need.
If you are looking for just one or two files to preview in a huge archive, you can use iUnarchive's search functionality.
Search files in archive
When you want to find a specific file or only want to display files of a specific type for instance, you can use iUnarchive's integrated archive search feature.
To find a specific file you can enter a part of the file name you are trying to find in the search field. (e.g. 'tajmahalset_' to find all files in your Taj Mahal photo series)
If you want to filter by file type, you can enter de file extension in the search field. (e.g. '.ics')
Syntax highlighting
With iUnarchive you can also preview programming language file types including syntax highlighting.
Supported types include c, h, cpp, hpp, cs, html, css, js, java, php, py, rb, sql, xml, xsl and wsdl, depending on which Quicklook plugins are installed.
