Pacifist 3.0 is finally released! Sorry for the really long delay — I had no idea this was going to take this long. This version is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.x (“Lion”). It also has a bunch of other new features:
  • New “Receipt Search” feature lets you search through all receipts to determine what package installed a particular file, and then extract that file if the packages can be found. If the appropriate Software Update packages containing the file can be found, they will also be used to make sure the latest possible version is extracted. (Requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, 10.6 for the extraction feature)
  • New icon and main window design by Adam Betts
  • Improved documentation, which is now bundled inside the application using Apple Help Viewer
  • Now runs as a 64-bit binary on Mac OS X 10.6 and higher
  • Now correctly preserves all extended attributes for extracted files (requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher)
  • Faster startup
  • Improved error reporting
  • Added an option to show hidden files in the open panel
  • Added the ability to save an archive’s file listing to a text file, or to print it
  • Pacifist can now automatically open the enclosing directory after extracting files
  • Added support for more flavors of .zip files
  • Fixed a bug that caused some .tar, .cpio, and .pax archives with symbolic links in them not to load properly
  • Added the ability to extract subpackages from metapackage files, instead of only their contents
  • Added the ability to list and open Software Update packages
  • Improved the QuickLook plugin’s interface
  • Added support for some self-extracting zip files
  • Added ability to view versions for applications in package
  • Search results now have tooltips revealing their full paths
  • Interface improvements to the Kernel Extension Report feature
  • Verify panel now lists what files were found in addition to what files were missing
  • Now supports automatic updates via Sparkle
  • More squashed bugs than a flyswatter factory

Check out the beautiful new icon by Adam Betts, who used to be a member of this forum back in the day.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
