104210 - Mozilla unexpectedly quits while Stuffit Expander postprocesses downloaded file

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Mark Leverson]

When I download a file, the file comes thru ok. Mozilla switches to the stuffit
helper then unexpectedly quits. The file then appears on the desk top
unexpanded. It can be expanded manually. This happens in Netscape 6.1 also. I
have use the helper application selected in the pop up window and the helper
application properly chosen.

Mark,

This bug seems fixed on the trunk builds... under 10.1 (95% sure)

I ran into this problem all the time under 10.0.4 and I can't think of a single
instance of this problem under 10.1. Do you have 10.1 or 10.0.4? Are you running
the latest nightly build of .9.4?

Hi
I have:

500 mhz Indigo iMac, 384 meg ram, CD-RW, Lexmark Z53,
I have OSX 10.1 and OS 9.2.1 both installed. I am not sure which version of
0.9.4 I have. It says Build ID: 2001091313 on the top of the page when I start it.

I understand that 0.9.5 is out. I'll try that.

I have:
500 mhz Indigo iMac, 384mb ram, OSX 10.1 & OS 9.2.1, internal 56K modem,
Earthlink dial up connection, Lexmark Z53 USB printer, Build 2001091313 of
MacOSX 0.9.4. The Mozilla for OSX 0.9.5 doesn't decompress.

I have found that when Stuffit Expander is not already an active app, that
Mozilla will not auto expand the hqx file downloaded. If you start Stuffit and
leave it active the file will auto expand. It also seems to be dependant on
where Stuffit is located in the file structure. If it is located on the OSX desk
top, it doesn't work, the stuffit program has a .app after it. If you put it
under the Mac HD it does work and doesn't have the .app on the program name.

Mark,

You should try one of the current 094 branch builds (or 095 if the OS X build has 
been straightened out) as I didn't check in the helper app fixes for OS X until 
10/01.  Since builds after I checked in have been verified as succesfully 
launching StuffIt Expander closing bug as WOKSFORME.

Revising summary to better reflect the reported problem. Reporter, you need to
attach an OS X crash log for this event.

I think this is a miss undering in wording.... Mozilla dose not crash it is
Stuffit that crashes under this instance.

Summary should be something like "Stuffit Expander unexpectedly quits in
postprocessing of downloaded file"
