NextZip v1.0.0

NextZip — a 7-Zip-powered archive manager for macOS, available two ways from this release:

Asset	What it is
NextZip_1.0.0.dmg	Standalone macOS app (notarized, universal). Download → open → drag to Applications.
NextZipv1.0.0.zip	The Nextpad++ plugin (install via Plugins Admin or unzip into your plugins folder).

Both share the same in-process 7-Zip engine and open every format 7-Zip reads — 7z, zip, tar, gz, bz2, xz, RAR / RAR5 and more (RAR is extraction-only), including transparent nested-archive descent (e.g. site.tar.gz).

Standalone app (NextZip.app)

• Finder-style two-pane window: filesystem browser on the left, archive contents on the right — each with its own toolbar
• Drag & drop: drop an archive to open it (and reveal its folder); drag entries out to Finder to extract them; drop files/folders onto an open archive to add them
• Live name filter in the archive pane
• Open a file from inside an archive in your default macOS app
• Tahoe Liquid Glass toolbar on macOS 26+ (classic buttons on older macOS)
• Create / extract / test archives; password prompts for encrypted archives; CRC32 / MD5 / SHA-1/256/384/512 checksums

Plugin (NextZip for Nextpad++)

• Dockable two-pane panel inside the editor
• Open a file from inside an archive in the editor; saving writes it back into the archive (incl. nested layers)
• Full "Add to Archive" dialog (format, level, method, dictionary, solid, threads, encryption)
• Extract with path / overwrite / eliminate-root options; encrypted-archive password prompt; checksums
