Delete [archives and compressed files] after expanding |
This preference is available only when "Expand archives and compressed files" is enabled. When it is enabled, the archives and compressed files you expand will be deleted once the files they contain are successfully extracted.Use this preference with great caution! If the archive or compressed file is damaged, or any error occurs during expansion, the file may still be deleted and would then have to be replaced before you can try expanding it agai |
Expand Encoded Files |
Use this preference to determine whether or not StuffIt Expander should attempt to expand encoded files. Encoded files differ from compressed files as they are not smaller than the original. Encoding protects files from damage. |
Delete [encoded file] after expanding |
This preference determines whether or not encoded files should be deleted after they have been expanded. Use this preferences with great caution! If the encoded file is damaged, or any error occurs during expansion, the file may still be deleted and would then have to be replaced before you can try expanding it again. |
Continue to expand (if possible) |
This preference, when enabled, causes StuffIt Expander to scan the file that results from expanding an archive, compressed, or encoded file to see if it can be further expanded. For example, when this preference is enabled, and StuffIt Expander encounters a BinHex encoded StuffIt archive, it will start to expand the archive as soon as it has decoded the BinHex layer. Note: Archives, compressed, and encoded files contained within folders in the archive must be separately expanded. |
Ignore Return Receipt messages |

Scan for Viruses |
StuffIt Expander allows you to automatically scan files that are extracted from archives and encoded files for viruses with your virus protection software. StuffIt Expander supports Virex, Norton Anti-Virus, and Virus Barrier. If you would like to try using a different Virus program, choose "Other..." from the pop-up menu. |
Open Palm .prc and .pdb files |

Join Segmented Files : |

Delete Segments after joining: |
When this preference is enabled, StuffIt Expander will delete the segments once the rejoined file has been saved. Use this preference with great caution! If the segments are damaged, or any error occurs during joining, the segments may still be deleted and would then have to be replaced before you can try joining them again. |
Expand joined files (if possible): |
When this preference is enabled, StuffIt Expander will attempt to expand the rejoined file if it is a archive, compressed, or encoded file. |
Mount Disk Images: |
When this preference is enabled, StuffIt Expander will attempt to mount disk image files (resulting in the appearance of a Òvirtual diskÓ) . StuffIt Expander is not able to mount .dmg disk image files created by Disk Copy under OS X. These disk images must be mounted with the Disk Copy application included in OS X . |
Keep Mounted Images in RAM: |
When this preference is enabled, StuffIt Expander will keep the mounted disk image in RAM if there is enough free memory available. A disk image mounted in RAM has the same properties as a RAM Disk created under classic versions of the Mac OS. |
Mount images unlocked by default: |
When this preference is enabled, StuffIt Expander will attempt to mount disk images as unlocked (read/write) volumes. Images that include compression can only be mounted as locked volumes. |
