What's new in this version:

Enhancements:
- Added option to not have an icon in the Finder contextual menu. (BetterZip > Preferences > Advanced)
- Added a size limit for tar archives to be listed in the Quick Look extension. Since compressed tar files can take a time proportionate to their size to list, it can stall the system for a long time, if you try to Quick Look a very large archive. If you ever run into this problem, set an MB limit in BetterZip > Preferences > Quick Look.

Fixed:
- The set password button in the preset configuration was disabled without a hint why, when the password manager was locked. This should be easier to understand now.
- The columns in the presets table were too narrow and some headers were cut off
- Increased the size of the Quick Look panel and optimized column widths
- When BetterZip was installed in a folder with a space character in its name, extracting tar based formats could crash BetterZip
- Since the rar commandline utility is now available as Intel or Apple Silicon executable, BetterZip can download, install, and update the version fitting your Mac
- The AppleScript unarchive option “receptacle” did not work
- Rewrote the Alfred workflows, since macOS no longer bundles Python 2
- ISO files were mounted as .BetterZipTempfolder; now the volume name will be the filename without extension
- The option “Don’t include the single root folder in the archive” prevented the display of the save panel when compressing a single folder
- Fixed some string translations
- The icon for the “files” preferences tab was missing
- Quarantining extracted executables did not work under certain conditions
- In save panels, the automatic loading of a preset that does not use zip format could lead to a double extension, e.g., name.zip.rar
