Thanks to the good folks over at xdd software, you can now install a small plugin for Quick Look that lets you view the contents of a zip file, without opening it.
- To get started, download the plugin itself. Open the zip file and drag Zip.qlgenerator to your /Library/QuickLook/ or ~/Library/QuickLook/ folder (either will do). If the QuickLook folder doesn’t exist in either location, just create it, then drop Zip.qlgenerator into it.
- Restart Finder by holding down the option key on your keyboard, right-click (ctrl-click for single mouse button folks) the Finder icon in your dock, and then select Relaunch.
- Now open Finder and navigate to a zip file. With the zip file selected, hit the space bar to bring up Quick Look. The contents of the zip file you selected will be displayed inside of Quick Look.
- Place a check in the box labeled Show Time if you want the full details of the Created and Modified information.
