What's new in this version:

Bug Fixes:
- Opening certain types of zip archives could crash BetterZip
- The volume size setting in presets for the rar format could lead to problems when the size was greater than the actual archive
- Prevent a crash when extracting files while they were already extracted for the preview
- The encoding detection for Windows zip files didn’t always work correctly
- BetterZip no longer trims whitespace characters in the filename patterns in presets
- Automator, AppleScript: When extracting with a preset, the settings for conflict resolution were ignored and when the preset was set to show the save panel, it stopped the worklflow
- After a compression Automator action, BetterZip quit too fast for Automator, possibly breaking workflows. I have added a short delay to allow Automator to continue
- Extracting individual files that had previously been previewed could take longer than expected or even hang completely
- Sometimes the __MACOSX folder was not hidden regardless of the option in the View menu
