StuffIt Deluxe 5.5: archive conversion bug and TFI window-dragging bug

CNET staff
StuffIt archive conversion bug reported Two readers (Michael Barsoom and Ben Benoit) have reported the same symptom with StuffIt Deluxe 5.5: When they opened an archive from an older version and converted it to the new format, the archive was created but there were no files in it.

TFI window-dragging bug confirmed Dana Nau reports that Aladdin Systems confirmed the following problem with StuffIt Deluxe 5.5: "Suppose there are two Finder windows, window A and window B; and suppose that window A is partially obscured by window B. If I select an item in window A and drag it to window B, the proper operation of drag-and-drop is for window A to stay behind window B until the drag-and-drop operation is completed. However, with True Finder Integration installed, what happens is that window A comes to the front as soon as I start dragging anything from it. The work-around is to disable the True Finder Integration control panel."

Update: Michael Macrone writes: "I believe only the StuffIt Browser needs to be disabled to fix this problem. The other TFI functions may be left enabled."
