BetterZip is a simple yet powerful archiving application that allows you to create, update, preview and protect packages.
BetterZip is able to perform multiple actions on its own via the operations queue: let Mac OS X decide how many operations can be performed at the same time or set it manually.
BetterZip can also store passwords in order to automatically open protected archives. Moreover, you can create your own unarchiving presets and even assign them keyboard shortcuts..
NOTE: To buy BetterZip via the App Store, an Apple account is required.
