Ontrack ZipMagic

I've been using a Zip utility called Zip Magic for a few years now, and I have to say that this little beauty comes out tops over rivals like Winzip. Why? Because no-longer do you have to click on the Zip file you want to open, select "I agree", chosoe where you want the file to decompress to, then delete the decompressed files .... Zip Magic is the no-hassle solution. Once installed, it treats all Zip files as any other Windows folder, with ".ZIP" written in red. So to open it just double click it, to move or rename files inside the archive then do this as you normally would... it's as simple as that! Zip Magic lets you choose to ...  Read the complete review

I have been using Zip Magic for over two years now and I must say that this is the most convenient Zip program available. Zip file format is the most popular way to compress files but using zip files can be a pain. Every time you want something in a zip file, you have to use a program to extract it. However with Zip Magic this is not the case. Zip Magic use a term they call “Zip Folders” technology, which makes zip files act as normal “Windows” folders. This allows you to instantly access files so that they can be viewed or modified, run programs and archive files, without any hassles or headache. This is what makes this zip ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to try this program for ages, ever since I saw a reviez of it in PC-World. I finally tried it, and Oh My God, it's a fantastic bit of code! Integrated into Explorer, once setup, you never even know it is there! However, I found a few minor problems with it... 1) Winzip integration: When trying to loadsome files I created in zipmagicinto winzip, I had problems. I cant remember how I sorted this out, I think it was by extracting the re-compressing. 2) ACDSee integration: Newer versions of ACDSee includethe ability to viewfiles kept within zip archives. Problems occur in two places, first, when trying to view zip files within zipfiles, and secondly, ...  Read the complete review

ZipMagic may just get the final word. This Zip management program integrates into your desktop, associating with the zip file extension, and a zip button to your windows, appearing on the task bar, and appearing on the pop-up window that appears when you right-click the mouse. The most noticeable feature of the program is that zip files now act just like a folder on the desktop. When you click a zip file, you get a directory in which you can perform all of the normal file functions, including execution. You can extract files if you like, or you can execute them directly from the zip. In addition to this, all of the main zip functions are present. A wizard helps ...  Read the complete review

ZipMagic: This is the ultimate zip programme. NOTHING is as powerful or comes as close. To understand its power you have to know about zip files. Most zips you get are either as an .exe or a .zip. If it's a .zip, then you need to extract it and then find it and then see what the hell was contained in the zip.. BUT for Zip magic its different. Using some special coding the programme turns your Zip files into ZIP Folders.. these special folders behave like normal folders, so you can access zip info without extracting it manually. It also has a zip fix programme and a host of other features. The coolest part is that it can convert a .zip into a .exe. ...  Read the complete review
