Stuffit Deluxe V 10.0 (Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This indispensible utility works well with OS X on the new Intel Core machines, as well as all Tiger and Panther environments. It has the ability to unpack and decode virtually every compression format I've ever encountered, as well as save in any compression algorithm that you're likely to need.
I give it four stars rather than five because it continues to have one annoying defect that affects the way I happen to operate. I routinely stuff certain financial files with a password. But ever since Stuffit V.8, Stuffit Deluxe has a glitch where the initial password-entry dialog box instantly slips behind the last active screen, rather than stay in the foreground for keyboard entry of the passpharase. I am forced to mouse to the password screen most of the time, a bit of a nuisance. If you don't care about adding passwords to your archives, or do so seldomly, this defect will not concern you.
Other than that, this utility functions without conflict with any of the myriad programs I run on my Macs.

StuffIt Deluxe 10 is the latest version of this innovative data compression, access, and management tool for Mac OS X. This release includes patent pending JPEG compression technology, allowing users to compress JPEG images and photos up to 30% with no loss in image quality. The only previous solution available for those looking to reduce the size of JPEG images was to further reduce the quality of the image. StuffIt's JPEG compression technology provides a new solution that offers smaller files without any penalty of reduced picture clarity. The product also allows users to view thumbnails for archived JPEG images without requiring them to decompress the archive. StuffIt Deluxe also offers new features that seamlessly integrate with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger". The included Spotlight Importer allows Spotlight to index file names for items stored inside StuffIt, Zip, and Tar archives. When the user performs a search, Spotlight will now list all the archives on the user's computer that contain files that match the search terms. StuffIt Deluxe 10 also includes support for Tiger' s new Automator scripting tool allowing users to compress and expand StuffIt, Zip, and Tar archives as part of their Automator workflows.
