WinZip 11.0 Build 7291 Beta
October 21st, 2006
WinZip 11.0 includes features that build on the solid foundation established with WinZip 10.0. We applied user feedback to help improve the Job Wizard, and added a number of compression and usability enhancements, as well as the ability to open .BZ2 and .RAR files.
A few of WinZip’s many other features:
* Zip, unzip, and one-click Zip and E-mail directly from Windows Explorer or My Computer.
* Automatically install software, desktop themes, and screen savers contained in Zip files.
* Quickly find your Zip files with Favorite Zip Folders.
* Instantly access recently used Zip files and other WinZip features from the Windows taskbar tray icon.
* Take full advantage of Windows XP features including fast user switching and XP themes.
* Decode most popular Internet file formats, including MIME, UUEncode, XXEncode, TAR, BinHex, and many others.
* Split Zip files into smaller parts to overcome e-mail size constraints.
Like WinZip 10.0, you can select WinZip 11.0 with Standard or Pro features, and both offer compression enhancements that make WinZip 11.0 the most versatile WinZip ever. Our new “best compression” option allows you to let WinZip decide the best compression method for each file based on the file type. This will ensure that you maximize the compression of every file that you add to your Zip file. WinZip 11.0 also allows you to better zip .wav music files without compromising the integrity of the file or its sound quality. What’s more, if you need to open a .BZ2 or .RAR file, WinZip can now be your tool of choice.
If you depend on WinZip Pro’s Job Wizard to back up data sets, archive important documents, or distribute information to others on a regular basis, you’ll appreciate the enhancements available in WinZip 11.0 Pro. Now you can configure the Job Wizard to email the log file and/or resulting Zip file automatically after completion, use our new “browse” feature to find a specific folder on an FTP server, and select custom jobs directly from the Job Wizard and Quick Pick menus.
Changes in WinZip 11.0 Build 7291 Beta :
- Allow WinZip to Select “Best Compression” Automatically
- Zip .wav Music Files
- .BZ2 and .RAR File Support (Extract Only)
- Configure the Job Wizard to Email Reports and Zip Files Automatically
- View Thumbnails within WinZip
- View Full-size Images with WinZip’s New Image Viewer
Other Changes in WinZip 11.0:
- Zip and E-Mail Directly from WinZip’s File Menu
If you need to email your Zip file, WinZip 11.0 makes it easier with the new “send to” option available directly from the WinZip file menu.
- Send to FTP or CD/DVD
With WinZip 11.0 Pro, you can extend the benefit of our new “send to” feature with the ability to send to a remote FTP server and/or burn directly to CD/DVD.
- Extended Time Stamps
WinZip 11.0 now uses NTFS time stamps (vs. DOS time). This allows for greater time stamp granularity/accuracy, and the use of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) helps assure clarity when sharing Zip files outside of your local time zone. This is particularly useful with Zip data backups.
- Definable Alternative Extensions
In an effort to improve network security, many administrators block various file extensions. If your administrator has a blanket policy to block .zip extensions, but you want to be able to exchange Zip files with a reliable source, you can now agree on a fictitious alternate extension (e.g., “.abc”) and simply associate WinZip with that extension. This will increase the likelihood that you will be able to send and receive Zip files, and WinZip will open them just as it opens any .zip file.
