Opener 3.4b is a Multi-Architecture Binary (i.e., "fat"). It runs on machines running NeXTSTEP 3.1 or later, Intel i386-based PCs, HP/PA-RISC based machines, and Sun Sparc based machines.
Opener is a utility that is indispensable for unpacking or creating common kinds of archived files (.tar, .tar.Z, .shar, .zip, .arc, .arj, .zoo, .gz, bz2, etc.). See Opener.app/language.lproj/HelpOpener/General.rtfd for details.
To install, unpack and drop Opener.app into an Apps folder or
Install by Install.app (pkg binaries).
Differences from Opener 3.4a:
- Fixed problem in "Edit archive table..." if you use Tables.app
- Correct Edit sub menu's font (Japanese font -> English font)
- Added "Services Menu"
Differences from Opener 3.4:
- Fixed bug in zip archiving with folder
- Changed entry for .au files in Opener.table to make better use of
disk space
Differences from Opener 3.3:
- Added .bz2 support to Opener.table and Controller.m
- Added binhex archiving support
- Replaced some utilities with newer version
(hexbin, macunpack, lha, mpack, munpack, zip, unzip)
- Added Japanese.lproj
Differences from Opener 3.2a:
- Added .gnutar.gz, .gnutar.z support to Opener.table
- Moved .gz after all other extensions ending in .gz in Opener.table to
avoid a search order dependence problem. Creating a .tar.gz
appeared to work but really only created a .gz.
- Added -appWillInit: to fix first-time-in bug. Opener only opened a
file once already launched.
- Split out app source files as separate archive from app
- Split out test files and put them in Opener_utils part of distribution
- Revamped Help
- Suggestion no longer overwrites a pending Mail compose window's contents
Differences from Opener 3.2:
- Fixed bug in setting of default directory preference (really this time!)
- Added .mime to Opener.table and Controller.m (omitted before)
- Added docAu.tiff to project and to app wrapper (omitted earlier)
