So... to open "password protected Zip archives" we need the full Stuffit?
Thanks but no thanks!

Expander could not open a .sit.hqx file when designated, using the 'Open with' in the Finder (The application cannot be opened -35); however, Expander having been launched, opened this same file when it was dropped on the Expander icon.

BetterZip works. It supports LZMA2.

Suddenly this new version of Expander can't open even basic zip archives without squawking that there's a problem. Yet, Archive Utility has no trouble with them, nor does 7-zip on the PC.
Beware. Keep your old installer handy.

Designer commented on 20 Nov 2010

What happened to the 'Create surrounding folder' feature when expanding archives? Stuffit 2010 had a preference to allow for 'never' which forced the expansion to output all files into the same directory instead of a multitude of folders - which I then have to sort.

Has StuffIt Expander 2011 ditched this feature?

I used StuffIt Expander for almost a year, but have recently started noticing that it won't unrar password protected rar files. I tried The Unarchiver instead and it worked like a charm. Consequently, I had to ditch StuffIt Expander.

Dancer had trouble on 07 Jan 2009

My daughter posted 363 photographs from Israel on Phanfare, a photo sharing site. I downloaded them to my desktop, they were in a zip file, but I couldn't unzip them. When I went to the Apple store, they told me to download Stuffit and that should unzip them. I did. It didn't. It still says "unable to unarchive. Error 1 - operation not permitted." Why? Can I make it work or is it not able to do this thing? I want to be able to see my daughters photographs and print the ones I want. --Dancer

My best guess would be that your download is corrupted/incomplete. See if you can find out what the size of the zip archive is supposed to be (from the website) and compare it to the size of the file you have. If it's smaller than it should be, try downloading it again.

Also try the free The Unarchiver, handles nearly everything.

That error comes from the built-in archive utility in OS X (typically when you encounter an encrypted Zip archive). To open your Zip archive. try dragging onto the StuffIt Expander application icon, or launch StuffIt Expander and then drag your archive onto the Drag Window. If it's password protected, you will be prompted for the password.

Legal Eagle had trouble on 07 Nov 2008

This stupid installer does NOT install version 13.0.2 as stated. What it installs is, in fact, version 13.0.1 I posted to this effect yesterday, immediately after downloading and installing
it. My posting appeared on MacUpdate for perhaps 10 minutes and then was presumably summarily removed by MacUpdate as it is not there any more. MacUpdate, why did you do this ? It is foolish. And it is quite unacceptable to a person posting when you summarily remove postings without any explanation whatsoever.

It most certainly does install version 13.0.2.

Furthermore, if it did not install version 13.0.2 then why are you the _only_ one to claim/complain out of 4,419 people (current download count for version 13.0.2) that it does not install 13.0.2?

Common sense, and the experience of having installed it myself on three different Macs and having verified that it installed version 13.0.2 says that you are wrong.
