You know when you have stuffit expander and you double click on a .sit file it just expands to where you had the file originally. I have stuffit deluxe and I want it to do the same thing. Every time I double click a file it opens stuff it deluxe and I have to expand it manually. I believe it used to auto expand before I formatted.

I just want to be able to double click on my sit files and then they will expand to the same folder.

I hear that its not possible to do in ver. 9 and so thats why I have ver.8 If anyone could let me know what settings I need to have in order to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

Right click on a .sit file or whatever the format is, choose "Get Info", select Stuffit Expander under "Open With" and click "Change All...". This is an option that Mac OS X provides, it has nothing to do with the Stuffit Deluxe version installed.

See pic for example, using Stuffit Deluxe 9.0.2.

This is what he wants.

You can also just right/ctrl-click an archive and in the contexual menu goto StuffIt > Expand

Your way doesn't do that.

It does if you press the option key after right clicking. That way the "Open with" option in the contextual menu will change to "Always Open With".

Unless you have Stuffit Deluxe installed. Then his way is activated.

I just tried it and it stays on Stuffit Deluxe.app when only selecting "Open With". The "Always Open With" thing only seems to apply to the file(s) selected.

What I suggested is a workaround when you have StuffIt Deluxe installed and it results in what he wants, "they will expand to the same folder." It's not permanent like your method, but it's just as easy as double-clicking.

Sure, it's not the most easy way to do it but okay.;))

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
