The Stuffit Deluxe plug-in for Word X still does not work with SD 7.0.1 for Office X (in French, I could not check in the US version). I still get a message saying Impossible de trouver le menu spécifié (cannot find the specified menu)…

Made the classic mistake thinking that this might actually fix a most vexing problem.. i.e the downloaded sit files will automatically expand like they're supposed to.. BIG MISTAKE!

Soon as I installed the update, my Kensington Trackball was rendered useless. As in the cursor moves around and clicks work but that is it. Nothing else. This is a major no-good.

One is positively underwhelmed by the reviews on VersionTracker of this so-called update.

Between this and Spring Clean/iClean...you guys are batting -1000! (as in minus).

L8R...as in MUCH!

Hello,

I guess you're not reading or choosing to ignore the positive posts too. Many of those folks haven't even tried the update yet they're complaining. Go figure what they're motivations may be. But I'm sure that if Aladdin could reproduce their problem or bug, they would try to fix it. But then again when people want to complain, there's just no stopping them. If it makes them feel good, then I can understand why they do it.

I certainly hope this fixes the constant problems I've had with MagicMenu (command-S in programs other than the Finder causing SystemUIServer to crash, not being able to use command-U in word processing/text editing programs).

i just installed 7.0.1 on OS X 10.2.1.
it did NOT fix the crashes when opening .sit files with stuffit deluxe.

if found that the crash is due to specific settings in the international preferences pane!
if your stuffit crashes try this:

open preferences > International > Numbers

since i am in switzerland i had a ' (single quote) as a seperator for thousands.
i just replaced that ' with a , and it won't crash anymore.

josh: if you want to repro the crash just select "Switzerland (German)" [any of the swiss will do] and try to open a .sit file with SD 7.0.1.


cheers,
phil

Phil6,

I just tried and I can confirm your finding.

I've re-installed SD 7 with the 7.0.1 update on my system (MacOS 9.1). THe problems with file attributes getting set strangely and .gz files not expanding have been fixed. Thanks.


One change is bugging me. If I expand a .sit file which was downloaded in a .hqx or .bin encoding, SD 6.5 used to retain the .sit file but 7.0.1 appears not to. I just end up with the expanded folder only instead of both the folder AND the .sit file. I do NOT have the preferences set to delete intermediate archives, etc.
Is this a change? Can it be overridden with a Preferences change?

Hello nagy,

In Expander under its preferences you have an option where you can select "Continue to expand if possible" and this maybe occurring. The question I have is whether the .hqx file is still there. If it is, then essentially you still have the .sit file within it even though Expander has expanded it completely. If you don't have it, within Internet Explorer in its preferences under "Receiving Files" in "Download Options" there is a check box where you can have it "Automatically decode BinHex files." Now my experience has shown me that IE has worked inconsistently with regards to this check box. Sometimes when I have it checked, the original .hqx file is deleted after Expander has expanded it; and, at other times, it's still there. So if the original .hqx file is disappearing on your end, it maybe because you have the checkbox checked. I hope this helps you.
