Version 1.3 | Release Date: 2006-11-24 | Download
  • More localizations: Portugese and Russian. Thanks this time go to Nylson Coelho and Michael Krekin

  • Added several localizations: Japanese, German, French and Spanish. Many thanks to E-WA, Christoph Schmitz, Thomas Steffen, Thomas Didrel, and Oscar A. Mata T. for their work on this!
  • Added an option to have The Unarchiver ask for a destination folder. Holding the command key while double-clicking an archive will also make The Unarchiver ask for a destination folder.

  • Fixed some other bugs in the interface, such as some problems with the filetype association list.
