I haven't benchmarked this version, but it seems adequately speedy.
Stuffit deluxe rar#
And most Mac users from the PC side prefer RAR which works at about the same rate as zip. It's just too slow for compression and expansion. (The Windows version of the program, however, is the 2010 edition, without Destinations–Smith Micro hasn’t updated it yet.) The price also includes three months of SendStuffNow Pro, which permits transfer of files up to 2GB.
Stuffit deluxe license#
StuffIt Deluxe 2011 is $49.99, which gets you a nicely flexible three-computer license (y ou listening, Microsoft?) which covers both Macs and Windows PCs.
You can also create your own Destinations tiles with different combinations of compression format, destination, and settings, or tweak the built-in ones. (I just used it with a file compressed with RAR, a format which OS X can’t handle by itself.) The program supports both its own StuffIt X compression format and the much more universal Zip, and includes various other compression- and decompression-related features such as the ability to create DMG virtual disks and to decompress files in a bevy of formats. The new version includes a toolbar called StuffIt Destinations that automates the normally two-step process of compressing a file and then doing something useful with it–such as e-mailing it, uploading it to an FTP server, burning it to DVD, or using Smith Micro’s SendStuffNow (a YouSendIt competitor) to let other folks download large files which would choke their e-mail.ĭragging a file from the OS X finder onto a Destinations tile starts the specified process you can choose to get an on-screen or e-mailed alert when it’s finished. (Anyone else remember a wonderful utility from the 1990s called ZipMagic?) In recent years, however, I’ve pretty much slipped into using the rudimentary compression and decompression features built into both Windows and OS X.īut I like Smith Micro’s StuffIt Deluxe 2011, the latest version of one of the most venerable Mac compression utilities. For years, I was serious about my compression software.
