I’ve never tried iArchive, but if Rucksack it’s the new iArchive, I’d rather focus on this. The app is anyway produced by CreativeBe, the developers of Renamer and iArchive. Guess Dietmar has his personal style now. Rucksack’s UI is somehow very similar to Thoughts.app (by Green & Slimy): it’a black window spotting the same love for glowing and colorful icons, with crisp text and beautiful animations. I open the link, I see a sexy website saying “the new iArchiver” and “ …the new way to handle archives”. I was about to give up.įast forward to this morning, my friend Dietmar from Green & Slimy sends a tweet about an app he’s been working on and that’s in beta: it’s called Rucksack. rar files, but unable to join split archives. I installed the popular Unarchiver, good for. rar archives, you realize that I have a problem. And if you consider that most of the files I download are encrypted.
Problem is, Archive Utility totally sucks when the file isn’t encoded in zip or it’s a password protected archive. As you may know Mac OS comes with an application called Archive Utility installed by default, and it’s pretty good when it comes to opening simple. I don’t know why, but there’s something wrong about Mac OS X and archives.
