Don't use 7-Zip for macOS releases. about svgcleaner-gui HOT 7 CLOSED

You mean the installation package or produced svgz files?

Linux also do not support 7z, but it isn't a problem, since you can install it. Also, Keka is very popular among macOS users.

If you want a different archive by default - which one?

I chose 7-Zip, because it has a better compression ratio.

I'm actually using Keka myself, but since I'm using Homebrew Cask to manage GUI applications, this would add a (unnecessary) dependency on unar.

I really don't care about which one exactly, as long it is supported by default. But since you said you chose 7-Zip because it has a better compression ratio, I'd suggest tar.xz (~8 MB) if you feel strongly about file size, or otherwise just use zip (~10 MB), which is still reasonably small for a GUI application in my opinion.

I'm not a macOS user - so I don't know which archive is supported out of the box. And which one is the 'default'. As far as I know - it's zip. Not sure for tar.xz.

I think the best option is to provide packages in different archives.

from svgcleaner-gui.

Yes, the default surely is zip (when you create an archive using Finder), but all archives which can be created with the tar command (tar.gz/tar.bz2/tar.xz/tar.lzma) are also supported.

OK. I will add it in the next release.
