BetterZip QuickLook Generator For Mac

The BetterZip QuickLook Generator allows you to view the contents of compressed archives while using Quick Look.

The currently supported archive formats are: ZIP, TAR, GZip, BZip2, CHM, CAB, CPIO, ARJ, LZH, ISO, StuffIt's SIT, DiskDoubler, BinHex, RAR, 7-Zip, DEB, RPM, and MacBinary.

You can set the various options directly in the Quick Look pop-up. Just click the Preferences button in the upper right area. Set your options and click the button again to hide it. Unfortunately the settings will not stick between sessions. So I created a way to let you set your default settings.

Right- or control-click the bundle BetterZipQL.qlgenerator and select Show Package Contents. Then navigate to the subfolder Contents/Resources. Here you will find a file config.js.

Open it with a text editor and set your default preferences. Each line represents a checkbox in the BetterZip QuickLook Generator's config box. 0 means box is not checked, 1 means box is checked. There are no other possible values. Save the file.
