Automated StuffIt Deluxe 8.0 compression

I just discovered the coolest feature of the latest StuffIt version (well, version 8.0 at least). I've only tried this under a fully patched up copy of Panther, but if you've got a folder or file to compress, simply add the compression suffix at the end. When OS X asks you about it, say "keep", "use," or select an option with a similar meaning. So, for example, you've got a folder called "Scans." To SITX compress it, all you need to do is to rename the folder "Scans.sitx" and that's it. Cool!
P.S. I haven't checked the documentation, so maybe it's just a feature, but you're probably like me and don't read the manuals and so when you stumble accross things like this it's amazing...
