This software can easily assist in decompressing various file formats including zip, tar, rar, 7-zip, stuffIt and more.
If you've ever struggled with the limitations of "BOMArchiveHelper.app", I highly recommend giving The Unarchiver a try. This archive unpacker program for Mac OS X is a game-changer. In addition to supporting a wider range of formats than BOMArchiveHelper, The Unarchiver also boasts a design that feels much more in line with the Finder.
One of the most impressive features of The Unarchiver is its ability to handle filenames in foreign character sets. This is particularly helpful for those who frequently work with non-English versions of other operating systems. For example, I've found it to be especially useful when opening Japanese archives.
Installation and use of The Unarchiver is extremely straightforward. After copying it into your Applications folder or preferred location, simply set archive filetypes to open using The Unarchiver. This can be done in the standard way or by accessing The Unarchiver's preferences through a double-click of the icon.
The Unarchiver supports a remarkable variety of file formats, including Zip, Tar-GZip, Tar-BZip2, Rar, 7-zip, LhA, StuffIt and many more. This is achieved by using the libxad unarchiving library. Overall, The Unarchiver is a must-have tool for anyone looking to streamline their file management workflow.
