ZipScan

ZipScan is a utility that allows you to search ZIP, JAR, CAB, RAR, ACE, ZOO, ARJ and OpenOffice files, including those which are password-protected or nested (i.e. compressed items inside other archived files) as well as self-extracting archives.

The program comes in a straightforward interface with intuitive wizard steps provided, that make it easy to configure by any users, even those less familiarized with this type of software.

All you have to do is specify the name of the items that you wish to be searched, choose the scan location, and then proceed with the task. You can save and load these parameters to be able to re-run searches with ease. It lets you pause and resume the task at any time.

Experienced users can make use of the advanced features of the application by applying search filters with the text string, date, size and version resource table.

Once the items are detected and listed, you can save the list as a text, comma-separated (CSV) or HTML file. It supports drag-and-drop and copy-paste extraction of your files.

In the main window you can analyze details such as the file's name, type, size, date modified, attributes, path and if it's password protected.

ZipScan lets you analyze errors during the file search (if any), view a summary at the end of each task, and enable OpenOffice text searching support. You can also choose the display measurement unit of the file's size: in bytes and KB, or MB for larger files.

The application had an overall good scanning speed during our tests.

To sum it up, ZipScan proves to be a reliable and useful software tool that lets you search for a wide range of archives, password-protected and nested files, analyze their details, and more.
