7-Zip 26.04 for macOS 1.2.1: Quick Look preview fix.
Fixed
- Quick Look preview: the summary at the top showed as an empty grey block in Finder's Quick
Look window (the list below was fine). A one-point divider line drew its colour over the area
macOS asked it to repaint, which in Quick Look was the whole summary. - After replacing 7-Zip in place and launching it right away, its Finder menu, Quick Actions and
Quick Look preview could stay unregistered until the next launch; 7-Zip now checks again a few
seconds after launch.
Changed
- Quick Look preview: the file name, icon and Open in 7-Zip button are gone — Quick Look's
own title bar already shows the name and Open with 7-Zip. The summary is one line on the
list's background ("7z · LZMA2:12 · Solid · Files: 2 · 209 829 → 172 759 bytes (82%)"), with
any note (encrypted, too many items, part of a multi-volume set) on the line below.
Install
Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer; one universal app for Apple silicon and Intel.
- Disk image: download
7-Zip-26.04-macOS-1.2.1.dmgbelow, open it and drag 7-Zip onto Applications. - Homebrew:
brew install --cask yrambler2001/tap/7zip-macos(orbrew 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.
