Is there any specific software available for the OSX operating system that can "append" single files into an archive so that I won't need to extract all files, add my file into the extracted folder, then re-compress it?

Not that I know of.

But as this takes all of three clicks, I'm not understanding why you'd need that.

For $80, Stuffit Deluxe will do this.

Most people don't find it worth the cost.

Can't you guess? This is three clicks and a one hour wait we're talking about. Then another one hour wait.

An hour? Then that's your problem, not the zip software.

Either there's something wrong with your computer or that archive, or it must be a really large archive. You should probably re-think whatever you're trying to do that requires messing with such a large archive.

I have a large archive. I think it would be convenient to only have to work with the files inside as temporary data within the archive to save what little memory I have left.

Don't go scolding me about my memory management skills, just answer my question. Is there a way to do what I asked in the OP? I've tried Zipeg, but although a little "+" appears by your mouse when you drag a file into an opened archive, nothing happens when you let go of the mouse.
