#Stuffit deluxe 12 mac os x#
StuffIt Expander a simple utility to expand archives, was a standard third party add-on for all Macs up until Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger. Its big brother, the full featured StuffIt Deluxe was widely used to create and encrypt archives that could easily be sent via e-mail.Įventually, Aladdin became Allume, and in 2005, Allume was purchased by Smith Micro Software. I contacted Matthew Covington, Senior Director of Product Development at Smith Micro in Watsonville, CA where the StuffIt team is. Not only did he provide some suggestions on what the problem with my archive file was, but also brought me up to date on the StuffIt technology.
Recovering Old Knowledge for Data Migrationġ. "The current version of StuffIt Expander, which is StuffIt 2009, is able to open archives created by any prior version of StuffIt. This covers the previous history of StuffIt archives ( i.e. Note that Expander is able to open a whole slew of other file formats in addition to the ones that we’ve created - for example the Expander can open zip archives, including encrypted zip archives and zip archives created with newer extensions to the Zip format that WinZip and others have created in recent years that the Finder cannot." sit file format) as well as the newer generation of StuffIt X archives (.sitx file format). In summary, the current StuffIt Expander should be all you'll ever need to open any StuffIt archive ever created. StuffIt Expander 2009 can be downloaded from Smith Micro, free.
If neither StuffIt 12 or StuffIt 2009 can open the archives, then the problem is most likely with the file itself." #WHAT IS STUFFIT EXPANDER UPDATE#ĭoes the error result from a bug in StuffIt, or does the error result from some kind of corruption to the archive file itself? The bug in Expander hypothesis can easily be tested - I’d recommend that you download the free Expander 2009 update and see if that has any better luck on your files. I replaced StuffIt 12 with StuffIt 2009, but the archive still wouldn't open.
