Hey all, I just uploaded Pacifist 2.6 to the site:

http://www.charlessoft.com/Pacifist.dmg

I've been getting a lot of e-mails about Pacifist 2.5.2 not working on Snow Leopard. This should fix that. Plus, there are a bunch of other changes:
  • Added a QuickLook plug-in
  • Added Simplified Chinese localization by Yunxuan He
  • Added support for PKZIP, WinZip, and Info-Zip self-extracting .zip archives
  • Added support for Zip64 archives
  • Added support for bzip2-compressed .zip archives
  • While extracting, the Verification phase is much faster
  • The Verification phase is now optional and can be disabled in the preferences
  • fixed a bug that caused .xar, .pkg, and .zip files on some HTTP servers not to load properly
  • Fixed a crashing bug that could occur while viewing packages with no resources
  • Fixed a bug that caused some Leopard flat packages not to be read properly
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the Logic Studio 9 discs to fail to load
  • Fixed a few bugs that could cause spurious errors when extracting files from pre-Leopard packages
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the resource forks not to be written properly for some files in pre-Leopard packages
  • Fixed a bug that could cause symlinks to be extracted with an incorrect path content or omitted entirely
  • Fixed a crashing bug that could occur while opening .zip files
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the window for the image view to appear at an incorrect size
  • Made some corrections to the localizations
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes

This version works with Mac OS X 10.3 and up. It's probably the last version that will support Panther. Yeah, I know I said that for 2.5.2, but... for reals this time.

I hope you enjoy it. Now you guys can quit bugging me about Snow Leopard support.

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