Brief Hands-On Report--StuffIt Expander 12.0.1 is Out

2004–09November 21, 2007Macs Only!Reviews
The venerable StuffIt Expander is a free utility from Smith Micro that allows you to decompress most of the popular archived files that software developers use to compression their files for faster transfer. It is available for download from MacUpdate.com.

What's fixed in v12.0.1 is:

  • Fixed an issue where StuffIt Expander wouldn't auto-quit after finishing an expansion operation when using the "Watch Folder" feature.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented expansion of Compact Pro archives that contained a comment.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented complete expansion of some older StuffIt 5 archives.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented expansion of some older self-extracting Zip archives (.exe).

We downloaded he new version and tested it on a few files. No issues were encountered. [Dana Baggett & Bill Fox]
