Will be there ever an Archive File Manager within OS X ??
The OS that aim to be "The Best OS in the World" don't include a very very very simple tool to manage archive files like zip,far,7z....

Windows got it, it's stupid but got it. Anyway there is the best free alternative: 7-Zip.
Linux got it with File Roller
OSX, just click and extract ALL files. Why I cannot choose a single file to extract? Why I can't see which files inside?

And NO free alternatives. Keka?? No, it's good, but NOT a Archive Manager.

7-zip for OSX is NOT an Archive File Manager, like Windows version.
It's a "simple" compress/extract utility, repeat NOT an Archive File Manager.

I agree that it's very annoying.

However, BetterZip does do what you want - it lets you both browse archives and do the OS X-style "click to extract". Enjoy.

Thank you, BetterZip seems to be "the best" alternative by now, unfortunatly it's not free.
Again, thanks.
