not to unpack zip files on download?

[SooTyLaD]

hi guys,

anyone know how to tell leopard to not automatically rip open a zip file as soon as its downloaded? i'm not a fan of this feature as sometimes i like to keep the zips...

(plus, i've noticed something very strange... when downloading password protected zips, they end up unpacked anyway - leopard is crackin' em open the cheeky bugger!)

It doesn't do it for me. Must be releated to Safari?

Preferences, General Tab, untick Open "Safe" files after downloading.

Try this QuickLook Plugin.

It will add ZIP-previewing abilities to Leopard's Quicklook

(There's also one for folder-previewing)

I think its one of the most boneheaded Mac ideas going. Not only is it annoying anything that aids drive-by downloading is a security FAIL.

And the icing on the cake; it is enabled by default on Safari.

Yeah I must concede bypassing passwords on the fly is a reason to leave it enabled.

thats bloody brilliant - more satisfying than letting safari just open it... and loads better if you're downloading stuff you aint sure about
