| Description: | |
|---|---|
| A simple extraction program that unpacks all the major formats. | |
| There are quite a few freeware extraction apps for the Mac but they’re all lacking in one regard or another. | |
| • | They only support one file format. |
| • | They’re ugly. |
| • | They don’t look like they belong on a Mac. |
| • | They use a grotesque terminal-like popup window. |
| • | They hate your freedom. |
| Features: | |
|---|---|
| • | Built using Apple interface standards so it looks like it belongs on your Mac; no ugly, terminal-like popups. |
| • | Context menu integration. |
| • | Right click drag and drop “Extract here” unpacking. |
| • | Did I mention it’s free? |
| Developer Features: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| • | Open source so you’re free to use it in your open source apps. | ||
| • | Objective-C compliant interface. | ||
| • | Library based so you can yank out the extraction bit from the interface and start use it immediately. I’m amazed in this day and age of OOP programming how mangled other people’s code is… | ||
| • | Fully documented code written for usability. | ||
| - | When you look at the code you instantly understand what does what and how to use it. | ||
| - | Clean, legible, consistent formatting. | ||
| - | Written in this century using a modern IDE so no legacy C style cryptic variable or function names. Clear, Obj-C style naming conventions so you instantly understand what a function does and what its parameters are. | ||
| - | All reference code cleaned up as well so you don’t have my nice beautiful code and then some code that looks like a 1980′s C programmer vomited in your IDE. | ||
