Before this Stuffit used to look for updates on start up, which can take a while.
This should also work in older versions of StuffIt.

Ever since I updated to StuffIt 9, it took longer to start up than did the previous version. So I finally looked into the preferences. There I found and unchecked the Preferences -> Version Check tab -> Allow verson check box. I did this in the Expander as well as in DropStuff. Both now start up in about half the time.

Works in Version 8
I tested this and can confirm that it works in version 8.0.2.
Make Expander and DropStuff launch faster
This is actually a bug. It seems they made a mistake and did not type the URL of their server correctly, at least in the release I have, so it would take 2 or 3 minutes to launch. My wife thought it was a dancing icon show.
Make Expander and DropStuff launch faster
Yah, I stop version checking in all my apps because of the annoyance. but then again, I check VersionTracker.com, Macupdate.com and http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Apps/ pretty much everyday...
Make Expander and DropStuff launch faster
Excellent, I can finally use Stuffit again without getting bored to death just watching it open. I was really confused about this problem since it was much worse when I am at home compared to at school. The reason, I think, is that at home I use dial-up, so I'm almost never online, where at school we have a high-speed LAN connection, and I have a wireless router, so I'm always online. I tested it here with and without network and both are much faster. |
