ZIPeeker

version 1.0.0.0

While rearranging my computers' directories, I discovered I had over 3000 ZIP files that I've downloaded over the years. I had a pretty good idea what some of them were, but the rest...well...a filename like di9905kw.zip doesn't say a whole lot about the contents.

It is such a pain open each ZIP, determining the contents, closing it and then renaming it, that I decided to write a little program to streamline it a bit.

ZIPeeker is the result.

Just a few easy steps:

1. Select a drive and directory from the Drive & Directory list
2. Select a ZIP file from the Files list
3. Look over the files listed on the right to determine the contents of the ZIP archive
4. Type in a new, more descriptive filename in the Rename field
5. Press the button to rename the file.

That's all there is to it!

Other things you can do:

• Double-click a filename on the right to view or run it as if it were extracted already
• Check the Show Hints box to show flyover hints for each control
• Uncheck the View with associated program box to use the internal text viewer to see the contents of the ZIPped files
• Check the List Auto-Extractors box to include .exe files in the Files list (not all .exe files are self-extracting ZIPs, of course)
• Check the Use ZIPeeker\Temp box to store temporary files under the ZIPeeker\Temp directory, instead of the Windows temp directory (or, in the case of XP, the ZIP file directory)

---

Issues:

• You need write permissions on any directory ZIPeeker will use for temporary files. If you don't have that permission, use the internal viewer (uncheck the View with associated program box).
• ZIP files with a huge number of files archived take a looooong time to view. Be patient.
