Charlesoft has updated it’s Mac archive utility Pacifist to 4.0.2 with Apple Silicon and Monterey Support

Charlesoft has updated it’s awesome Mac Archive app to version 4.0.1, it is a complete rewrite in Swift with Monterey and Apple Silicon Support.

It’s features include:

  • open a wide variety of file archives, including:
    • macOS .pkg package files,
    • .dmg disk images,
    • macOS asset catalogs,
    • Mac OS 9 Installer Tome files, and
    • .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .xar, and .yaa archives,
  • examine and extract individual files and folders,
  • inspect install scripts and other package resources to make sure that a package is trustworthy before installing it,
  • analyze existing installations on your system, to help you determine who installed a particular file on your system,
  • view archive contents straight from the Finder via QuickLook,
  • view and extract files from archives via your choice of a slick GUI or an automation-friendly command-line interface, and even
  • inspect the contents of .zip files (and other supported types) over the Web without downloading the entire archive first.

I love that it lets you go into an installer and just extract what you want from it. This is such a powerful tool for $20.00 and I have owned various versions for years.
