The Unarchiver and Stuffit archives

Paul Westbrook | 23 October, 2006 22:36

I have had several Stuffit archives that The Unarchiver has unpacked to empty directories.  On my last post about The Unarchiver, Nathaniel Nutter commented that there are problems with resource forks, and suggested BOMArchiver.  I couldn't find a place to download it, so I just re-downloaded Stuffit Expander 11.

There are fewer and fewer things that use Stuffit (especially since Mac OS X has built-in support for disk images and zip archives.)  Mac OS X developers should really stop using Stuffit for their distributions.

Google Reader Notifier

Google Reader Notifier is a small application that lists the unread posts in the Mac OS X menu bar.  This works pretty well, but there are some things that I would change:

  1. Have a preference screen that lets you enter your Google username and password. (Currently it uses the cookie stored in Safari, when you log in with that browser.)
  2. Display the unread posts in submenus for each feed.
