The Unarchiver 4+

I like this program. It's been very easy to use and quickly makes short shrift of any zip file that I come across.

I have a problem though because I wanted to say how well the app worked for me and complete their survey, but the survey would not allow me to go past a block where I had to connect somehow with Google. I say somehow because all of the text was in Arabic (I am an ex-pat living in China) and there was no way to get past that block regardless of what I clicked.

I would still like to take part in the survey but I don't think I will be able to because of the linguistic lock on the door.

I got this to handle one specific type of archive file. Instead, it took over handling a whole bunch of archive file types. They provide a configuration screen that is essentially useless. It lists all of the kinds of files that it handles, with checkboxes beside them. But when I tried to clear the checkbox beside “Zip Archive”, it popped up a message giving me some ridiculous instructions about going to Finder and changing file associations. Instead, I found an easier solution - uninstall.

This app has been great for years, but the last update opens a finder window for every archive I'm trying to open. I'm often opeing 30 or more at once and it grinds my mac to a halt. A fix back to how it used to work would be great!
