Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of BetterZip 6.0.2.

What's new in this version:

Enhanced:
- The info area in the right sidebar can now be hidden (through the View menu) to maximize the space for the preview
- Added sorting to the tables on the tabs “Helpers”, “Filtering”, “Archive Types” in the Settings window
- When trying to clear BetterZip’s handling of an archive type in Settings > Archive Types, you will now be able to choose an app, if no other app declared being able to handle that type. Sounds complicated, I know: If you uncheck RPM files in the Archive Types table, and you don’t have any other app on your system that declares it can handle rpm files, BetterZip will now show an app chooser, so you can force e.g. HexFiend to handle RPM files from now on. Similar to the Get Info panel in Finder
- You really need your zipper box? Fine, check out BetterZip > Settings > Advanced
- Enhanced the document icons a little bit

Fixed:
- When enabling the Finder extension, external drives would be stamped with BetterZip’s icon. This is a bug or weird design decision by Apple, but I found a work-around. If that doesn’t help on your Mac, you can as a fall-back disable running the extension on external drives in BetterZip > Settings > Extensions > Finder.
- The two radio buttons on the Welcome screen weren’t mutually exclusive
- Under some circumstances, new archive windows would be opened with an incorrect size, e.g., reduced height
- On older versions of macOS, the Hashes drop-down box in the right sidebar was cut off at the top
- On older versions of macOS, the right sidebar’s divider line would go through the toolbar like on macOS 26. The solution is not perfect, but at least there are no visual artifacts anymore.
- The Favorites scanner no longer restarts intermittently when changes happen on disk, but finishes and integrates the changes once done
- Modifying and saving an archive would keep the original modification date instead of setting it to the current time
- Help > Get in touch by e-mail led to an unknown web page. It now opens a new email again
- Under certain circumstances BetterZip couldn’t open archives in folders that contained an asterisk *
