DESCRIPTION
StuffIt, (formerly StuffIt Standard) includes StuffIt Expander for expanding over 30 file compressed and encoded file formats, and DropStuff for creating archives in Zip, TAR or StuffIt X format.
DropStuff is completely customizable. Create multiple Preference Profiles to meet your needs: Compress files and automatically burn them to CD/DVD; compress and upload archives to either an FTP server or your MobileMe iDisk; create Zip and StuffIt X archives protected with encryption...The customization possibilities are nearly endless. Save these Profiles as Droplets on your Desktop, Dock, or other convenient location. Then drag and drop files to the Droplet to archive using your custom preference settings.
Are you getting "Operation Not Permitted" errors when you try to open a Zip archive? Use StuffIt instead. StuffIt can open those password protect Zip archives. Need to send files securely? StuffIt can create encrypted Zip archives, too.
Do you want to send a Zip archive to a Windows user? Use StuffIt to Zip archives that don't include extraneous Mac data.

THOMAS HARTE Just horrid stuff — arbitrarily proprietary, slow, oversized and prone to adversely affecting your entire system.

TEKL I could check compatibility, but that’s still sitx.

TEKL If you need an older Version to create .SIT files (without X), try this link: http://my.smithmicro.com/downloads/files/stuffit_std_703_x_install.dmg

MISHA Can you no longer specify in Preferences if you want .sit or .sitx? (I haven't tried 2010 yet.)

RPAEGE "Expansion support for archives created with the latest versions of StuffIt". This is a feature? Wouldn't one take that for granted with ANY new version? There is really nothing at all compelling about this "upgrade".

ROG360 Version 13.0.2 seems to mess up my Apple Menu. So I went back to 13 and all is fine. Please get your apps straight. This thing gets more bugs every update...

STAR-AFFINITY Horrible new icons! Especially when they are shown small, like .sitx archives attachments in an email. Before one could see they were small boxes, now they look like some "green-blob-with-a-faint-square"-thingy. http://home.mac.se/star-affinity/horrible_icons.png

BACKPACKER Having used tools like iDMG to access bzip2 high-compression, it was a nice surprise to return to Stuffit to find that its v13.0.1 'Best Binary Compression' (custom-set at highest level) beat everything else I've tried so far. The time penalty for high-comp settings doesn't seem as great as that for older versions, and the sitx files are much smaller than bzip2-type files. The only quirk has been occasional crash-on-quitting under Leopard PPC on a Quicksilver G4.

PHASEANGLE Do not use the installer. It asks for password but shouldn't very sus. Previous versions just copied to disk so I searched the package and found the folder no problems

STUFFIT StuffIt Standard is completely self-contained. No other components are installed anywhere on your machine. The admin password is required in case your account is a non-Admin user and you do not have write-permissions to the Applications folder. Smith Micro, Inc.

PHASEANGLE Still this promotes the bad practice of people entering their password for any installer that asks for it.

OWENOJO This is a shocking, sloppy piece of junk. As many others here have said, it is useless. It cant even correctly open its own file format! Back in olden times, stuffit expander and its related formats, sit, bin , hqx and the dreaded sea thingie, were the standard mac archive formats. Now that many files are zipped, os x deals with these no problem, this thing is only needed to do one thing: open its one native format: a format you only encounter when a) someone made the mistake of encoding a file with this monstrosity, and b) to open old archives/ obsolete software you downloaded. IT CANT EVEN DO THIS RIGHT. version 12, 11, all cant extract a .sit properly without showing zero files, or missing files. How can Smith Micro/Alume/Aladdin (ive lost track!) market this evil, vile bastard offspring off years gone by anymore? Get the free "the unarchiver". it works.

BEBDABHRHBRWEFG 3R§5Y5H4WTEDSFB the unarchiver won't open sitx files. until it does [or people stop exchanging files in crappy stuffit format!] i have to keep this bloated POS hanging around on my hard drive - just in case :-(

C.BUTTON Absolutely horrendous piece of software. Firstly the small-time developers behind it make you jump through far too many hoops to get a download for what is after all free software, then it's been so poorly coded that it's useless for the purpose it was designed for. Macs have been using dual processors for some time now, yet this app which could *really* benefit from being multi-threaded still only uses one. Nearly every other decompressions app out there is multi-threaded and sees huge performance benefits, but this doesn't and as a result takes forever to compress/decompress large files. Not that it'll take the millions of hours the poorly coded estimate will give you (if you even get one, on multi file archives it rushes to 100% after one file then stays there for ever....), but it's just plain slow. Back in the days of OS 7/8/9 this app was a must. With the advent of the built-in zip compression of OS X this is a vestige best left to the past. Yes, it creates files a few percent smaller than a zip, but then it takes forever for the person you send files to to find the decompresser and install it, assuming they even know where to look. For compressions stick with the Finder's .zip, and for decompressions use The Unarchiver. Both are free and much, much better than this legacy, proprietary lump of slow, buggy bloatware. Sorry Allume, you used to be cool but now you just suck.
