A new tool in the 'hood!

You talk, we hear. We hear you and we think hard. Then, we come up with a solution, code it, test it and release it. That sums up the development process here at JoomlaPack Developers.

This time, we heard a lot of you complaining that sometimes backup archives are hard to extract. It seems that PHP4 users have a lot of grief with ZIP files, because on their platform the larger files appear to be corrupt with most traditional archivers. A lot of people who don't have an option but to use JPA files complain - rightfully - that this format seems arbitrary and lacks support from visual tools. You talked. We heard you.

Please, welcome JoomlaPack eXtract! eXtract is the latest addition to our utilities collection, with a twist. It is visual extraction wizard running on the Windows(tm) platform, similar in look and feel to the integrated Windows' ZIP extraction wizard. eXtract can extract ZIP and JPA backup archives generated by JoomlaPack. It comes with an installer to make your life easier during installation. Despite being version 0.1, it's usable.

Download eXtract now from our JoomlaCode.org FRS or the SourceForge.net mirror.
