Introducing Springy, simple and elegant, yet powerful archiving utility that will make your everyday archiving activities much more pleasurable.
Springy archiving and compressing application let you do all your work with archives and compressed files using sleek graphical interface similar to Finder.

Features include browsing files in archives in all three view types (as icons, as list, as columns), extracting all or particular files or folders from archives, modifying archives (add, delete, replace, rename files or folders in archives), full drag & drop support, working with encrypted and password protected files, support for HFS/HFS+ metadata and resource forks, compressing and decompressing files and many more.

Springy includes Finder contextual menu plug-in, that can be used to create archives, add files in archives, extract whole archives, compress and decompress files, all with just one right mouse click in Finder. But even more, it enables browsing files and folders in archives and extracting particular file or folder using hierarchical contextual menu.

Springy supports the following file types: ZIP, TAR, TAR compressed with GZIP, BZIP2 and Unix Compress methods, plain GZIP, BZIP2 and Unix Compress compression. Future releases will include support for more archive formats.

Limitations:
You can enjoy Springy in almost its full funcionality for free, it will never expire and it won't nag you with splash screens and reminders to register.
However, if you want to use Springy application with archives bigger then 50MB in size of archived contents, or archives that contain more than 500 files or folders, you need to purchase and register it at the above price.
Also, you can use SpringyCM Finder Contextual Menu plug-in to archive, extract, compress and decompress files selected in Finder, but if you want to use contextual menu to browse archive content and to extract particular file of your choice from an archive, you need to register.
