One example of zips that the standard archive utility won't open by default are epub books where you can rename to .zip and then open up for internal tweaks. I run into this all the time with the Linux Journal magazines so I use Unarchiver to deal with them. Not sure why this is the case but I'm

I did one yesterday. I put my cursor on top of the file name that had the.zip extension, impressed commando. When I press down arrow, my unzipped files were there it took about two seconds. It's a lot easier than unzippering them in Windows. Regards, Gigi On May 23, 2013, at 12:53 PM, Alex Hall
