Creating an archive

Opened archives appear in the OS “Devices” section for manipulation. IZip also informs you that no Finder metadata will be stored to the newly created archive if you decide to use the extra compression algorithm. Features and flexibility. As per recognizable file formats, you can assign ZIP, ZIPX, RAR.

When you launch iZip it should open a welcome screen. Note: If this is the first time you installed iZip, you will see a configuration screen where you can set iZip as the default program to handle .zip files (recommended).

From the welcome screen, click “Create Archive”.

Click 'Specify name' and a location to save your archive (such as Desktop), then click “Next”.

At the extra compression screen, do not tick the checkbox (enabling this will produce a non-standard zip file). Only click 'Next'.

iZip will display a summary for your archive, click “Next”. A success message is displayed. Click “Next” again. The encrypted archive has been created and is ready to send via e-mail attachment.

Never send the password to an archive in the same email as the attachment. Ideally do not send via email at all, but transmit via a phonecall or written letter.

Extracting from an archive

If iZip is the default program for opening .zip files, double-click the .zip file in the Finder.

If iZip is not the default program for opening .zip files, CTRL-click or right-click the file and select “Open with” and “iZip”.

iZip opens the archive. It may by default assume you want to add new files to it and if you are being asked for a new password for the new files, simply click “No password”.

iZip now mounts the archive and displays the contents in a Finder window.

When you click to open a file, iZip will prompt for the password. Once you type in the password the file will open.
