The ‘Stuff with StuffIt’ menu item will appear for any file.įigure 1: ‘UnStuff with StuffIt’ in the Finder contextual menuįigure 2: These 2 menu items are also available in the ‘Services’ menu The ‘UnStuff with StuffIt’ menu item is only visible when you select a file compressed by StuffIt in the Finder. To reenable this missing feature for 10.6 users, I built a Service that adds 2 menu items in the Contextual Menu of the Finder: ‘UnStuff with StuffIt’ and ‘Stuff with StuffIt’. You may have heared about it in my previous post “Implementing a Service on 10.6”. Apple indeed removed the old contextual menu API in MacOSX 10.6. As a result, the StuffIt Contextual Menu is not available.

In Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Apple has removed support for third party contextual menu plugins. Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) users will find non-Apple contextual menus under “More”. Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) users will find the “StuffIt” option at the top-level of the Finder’s contextual menu.

Rather than appearing in the Finder menubar, the Contextual Menu appears when you hold down the Control (Ctrl) key or right-click while selecting a file in the Finder. Except for keyboard shortcuts, all the commands available in MagicMenu are also available in the StuffIt Contextual Menu. StuffItCM is an alternative to MagicMenu. Here is the description in the StuffIt User Guide of The StuffIt Contextual Menu: With MacOS X 10.5 (and older), it was possible to access some features of StuffIt directly from the Finder using a Contextual Menu. Use StuffIt to free-up space on your computer and to fit more compressed files onto CD/DVDs or other drives. Shrink documents up to 98% of their original size.
