How to Use ZipGood with the Finder on Mac

Enabling the ZipGood Finder extension

1. Open System Settings on your Mac.
2. Go to General → Login Items & Extensions.
3. Scroll down to Extensions → Finder.
4. Enable ZipGood.
5. Right-click any file or folder in the Finder to see the ZipGood commands.

What the Finder commands do

• Compress to Current Location — creates an archive next to the selection
• Compress to… — creates an archive in a folder you choose
• Encrypt Here and Encrypt to… — create an encrypted archive using your default password
• Extract to Current Location and Extract to… — extract an archive in place or to a chosen folder

Headless quick actions

When you start an action from the Finder, ZipGood does not need to open its main window. Progress is shown on the Dock icon, and a sound plays when the task finishes. You can keep working while the archive is created or extracted.

Finding the commands in the menu

You can choose whether the ZipGood commands appear at the top level of the Finder context menu or inside a ZipGood submenu. This is configured in ZipGood under Settings → Finder Extension.
