7-Zip 26.04 for macOS 1.2.0: Quick Look preview for archives.

Added

  • Quick Look preview for archives. Selecting an archive in Finder (the preview pane, or the
    space bar) shows its type, method, file and folder counts, sizes and compression ratio, and its
    contents as a tree with 7-Zip's Name, Size, Packed Size and Modified columns, icons and font,
    folders first. Open in 7-Zip opens it in the app. Every archive type 7-Zip registers is
    covered, compressed tarballs (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, .tar.zst, …) included.
    The preview never asks for a password (an archive with encrypted file names says so), stops
    after about 2 seconds or 10 000 entries ("…and N more — open in 7-Zip"), and never writes
    anything. Options ▸ macOS ▸ Quick Look preview for archives turns it off and on; it is on
    by default and Reset All Settings turns it back on. The document icons Finder shows are
    unchanged.

Fixed

  • After an update that replaces 7-Zip in place (brew upgrade, dragging a new copy over the old
    one), the Finder menu, the two Quick Actions and the Quick Look preview could disappear until
    they were switched on again. 7-Zip now registers its missing extensions at launch. It never
    switches one on that you turned off.

Install

Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer; one universal app for Apple silicon and Intel.

  • Disk image: download 7-Zip-26.04-macOS-1.2.0.dmg below, open it and drag 7-Zip onto Applications.
  • Homebrew: brew install --cask yrambler2001/tap/7zip-macos (or brew upgrade --cask 7zip-macos).

Gatekeeper: this build is ad-hoc signed, not notarized. The Homebrew cask removes the quarantine
flag after installing, so a Homebrew install opens directly. From the disk image macOS blocks the
first launch after every install and every update: open 7-Zip once and dismiss the warning, then
click Open Anyway in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security and confirm. Details:
First launch: Gatekeeper.

To get the Finder menu, switch the extension on once: Options ▸ 7-Zip ▸ Integrate 7-Zip to shell
context menu, or System Settings ▸ General ▸ Login Items & Extensions.
