Handle with care.
The Unarchiver is a new utility that will uncompress many different formats so you don’t have to download each uncompression apps separately such as Stuffit, UnrarX, etc.
The Unarchiver Window
It works in the same way as Mac OS X’s default app BOMArchiver does. You can set a preference to use this utility instead of BOMArchiver for uncompression.
Download it from Versiontracker
This is a voluntary icon project.
Very nice!
Finally, a replacement for Stuffit??
I wonder if this will handle password-proteced .sitx files?!
No idea, so far all files worked 100% for me but I don’t have any password-protected .sitx file to test.
I’ve deleted Stuffit for good.
Links seems to be broken?
First link is corrected.
About .sitx, author said this:
So hang on your copy of Stuffit for a while if you still use .sitx. I don’t so I couldn’t care less.
Good to know, thanks for the information!
I downloaded the app, but the icon isn’t the one you made… :((
Leo, have you opened the app and enable all archives types checkboxes yet? After that, logout and log back in, all document icons should change to new one.
Oh my mistake, I thought the “ZIP” icon was for the application.
Now I’m using Transmission downloading files, and the “RAR” icon becomes your icon, very nice, thank you! :)
Nice, its just as snappy and un-intrusive as the BOM one.

What theme are you using on yout Mac? The download bar looks more like crystal. I like it.
BTW, does that make iTunes look like “Aqua” again? I dislike the new theme.
I used Max’s Aqua Extreme (package version, not GUIKit)

Theme authors will need to update their theme to support iTunes 7
Amazing software. I have to get it.
great icon :)
Adam,
I installed Max’s ‘Aqua Extreme’ theme and I love it, no problem there.
After installing, repairing permissions, and restarting, I noticed that I couldn’t open iTunes. An error window tells me that there isn’t enpugh memory to open it.
I know you are not the maker of this theme, but I was just wondering if this has hapened to you.
Ah, I installed the theme long before installing iTunes 7. It’s likely theme installer installed an old version of iTunes component files and it’s not compatible with 7. Try reinstall iTunes 7 and see if it fixes the problem.

PD: I know this is way off topic. IN topic: The icons are very nice, I replaced Stuffit for Unarchiver ;)
Both The Unarchiver and its new icon set are fantastic! The app is just as minimal as BOMArchiveHelper, but has more support for different formats. Being able to extract RAR files without launching UnRarX or MacPar is quite nice.
Your brown box icons make a world of difference when trying to distinguish between compressed files and other documents. This, in my opinion, is the best part of this duo. Looking at a bunch of zip and tar files among other non-archive files in List View (my view of choice) makes these new icons truly shine.
It still has more problems opening certain encrypted .rar files than Stuffit, and like mentioned before it doesn’t support .stix files. So for me this isn’t a full replacement just yet.
I am a total novice, can anyone be bothered to give me the unarchiver for dummies version. I downloaded it, but I don’t know where to begin.
To get things back on topic… your icon design for this application is fantastic. I appreciate all of you hard work on this project.
is there a windows version?
Working with Windoze here but I just lurve these icons. Can I (How can I) get my hands on them ??
