I'm looking for some ZIP editing software that, like in Windows, opens the archives without auto-extracting everything. Currently I know of StuffIt Archive Manager letting me browse archives, but if I double click on something, it gets extracted on a visible folder, and not to a temporary location.
Why I need one? Normally I'm fine with Apple's way of auto-extracting content and discarding the archive file, but there are some applications, such as DOOM 3, which read their data from ZIP packages (i.e. they use archives as data packages). In that case, it really would be more appropriate to use a tool that lets me browse the archive, double-click files so they get extracted to a monitored temporary folder, and let me make my edits, which get updated back into the archive, after which the temporary extracted file gets deleted. On Windows for this purpose WinRAR works very well. What can I get for OS X?
