Future Plans

In order of priority, these are the features I plan to add. The top few will appear in the next version.

• Plug-in capability, so that external code could be written to allow ZipIt to take advantage of other compression formats
• Integrated text reader so you don’t have to unzip a text file in order to read it
• Support for multi-disk, multi-segment archives
• Improve ZipIt’s AppleEvents, and support the AppleEvent Object Model
• Add a Replace All button, during the extraction process (sorry Kendall, couldn’t get it in this version.)
• Permit the creation of self-extracting archives, both IBM and Macintosh
• Improve the Add Files dialog box: Allow you to specify a DOS filename as you’re adding, and allow you to delete files after zipping
• Resize the zip window to show all entries (dynamically size the window)
• Add the ability to drag files into folders, and between archives
• Possibly add a floating palette
• Add a factory settings options to the Extension Mapping preference dialog box
