Zippity v0.0.6

Changes

• Extracting, creating, editing, and Save As work on exFAT and FAT volumes on macOS. Extracting onto one failed with "A temporary file was replaced", and creating an archive there failed with "Operation not supported". macOS keeps each file's attributes on these volumes in a ._name file beside it. For a destination there, Zippity stages its inputs in the temporary folder, so those files stay out of your archives.
• Extracting a whole archive takes one 7zz pass. On a Linux test machine, a ZIP with 20,000 files in one folder extracts in 1.4 s instead of 4.9 s, and a solid 7z with 20,000 members in 3.5 s instead of 10 s. Listing, previewing, or checking a small archive takes about 9 ms instead of 22 ms.
• Zippity runs on Yazi's nightly build of 2026-11-10. Nightly builds since 2026-11-09 renamed two file system requests and made fs.stat follow links. That left Yazi's own copy of an archive member stuck at 0%, and let a forced paste extract through a link at its destination.
• A wrong password on an archive with thousands of encrypted members is reported as a wrong password. It used to end in "Archive error output exceeds 64 KiB".
• Files whose names start or end with a space, or sit inside double quotes, can be archived.
• Names such as notes.2024 and game.x86 no longer report a missing archive volume, and backup.zip.20241110 opens as the archive it is.
• P replaces the links that an earlier extraction made.
• An archive near the limit of 200,000 members extracts in one request.

Install or upgrade

Download the bundle for your system and SHA256SUMS:

• macOS on Apple Silicon: zippity-v0.0.6-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
• Linux on x86_64: zippity-v0.0.6-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz, a static binary for any distribution

Check the download with shasum -a256 -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS on macOS or
sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS on Linux, extract the bundle, and follow its
INSTALL.md. Update both the helper and the plugin, then restart Yazi. If you installed
the plugin with ya pkg, run ya pkg upgrade and install the helper from this release.

Requirements

Yazi 26.9.1 or the nightly build of 2026-11-10, and official 7-Zip as 7zz on PATH,
verified with 7-Zip 26.05 and Debian's 7zip 25.01. Optional: unar for StuffIt and
Amiga LZX archives, lz4 for lz4 files, and a separately installed, appropriately
licensed RARLAB rar for RAR writing.

The Apple Silicon binary has an ad-hoc signature and isn't notarized. If you downloaded
the bundle in a browser, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "$HOME/.local/bin/zippity"
after installing.

Zippity v0.0.5

Changes

• Zippity runs on Yazi's nightly builds as of 2026-11-02, which changed the plugin API for virtual file systems, and it keeps working on Yazi 26.9.1.
• Debian 13's own 7zip package works, with 7zip-rar for RAR archives. Zippity now reads archive listings after the (will not be echoed) password prompt that this build prints.

Zippity v0.0.4

Zippity lets you browse and manage archives in Yazi on Linux and macOS. You enter an
archive like a folder, search member names, preview files, and extract a selection
without unpacking the rest.

• Browse, preview, extract, and verify ZIP, RAR, 7z, tar families, and ISO images, and
  open packages, installers, and disk images read-only.
• Stage additions, deletions, renames, and replacements in ZIP, 7z, and RAR archives.
  Zippity checks the new archive before it replaces the original.
• Create archives with compression settings, encryption, and split volumes, or convert
  one to another format with Save As.

Install

Download the bundle for your system and SHA256SUMS:

• macOS on Apple Silicon: zippity-v0.0.4-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
• Linux on x86_64: zippity-v0.0.4-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz, a static binary for any distribution

Check the download with shasum -a256 -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS on macOS or
sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS on Linux, extract the bundle, and follow its
INSTALL.md. The README has install
commands for Yazi, 7-Zip, and the optional tools on macOS, Arch Linux, and Debian.

Requirements

Yazi 26.9.1 and official 7-Zip as 7zz on PATH. The tests ran against 7-Zip 26.05.
Optional: unar for StuffIt and Amiga LZX archives, lz4 for lz4 files, and a
separately installed, appropriately licensed RARLAB rar for RAR writing.

The Apple Silicon binary has an ad-hoc signature and isn't notarized. If you downloaded
the bundle in a browser, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "$HOME/.local/bin/zippity"
after installing. Yazi's custom filesystem API is experimental, and Zippity doesn't run
on Yazi's current nightly builds.
