Presets and automated workflows
Powerful features allow automation of common tasks. For example archives with applications in them can be extracted to the desired Application folder, then the archive itself will be placed in the trash, and BetterZip will exit all with the click of a button. Applescript can also be used to do more complicated tasks.

Quick Look functionality
