Steven, yes email one to me as I have a few ideas why this is happening.
I'll have a look at it tomorrow sometime.
I have to knock off now and prepare for New Year's Eve ;-)
Happy New Year & all the very best for 2009.
Cheers,
Ronni

Just seems to be some zip files Ronni. I created one myself using
Leopard's Compress option, and then decompressed, and it works fine.
If you're particularly interested I could email you a sample, but
I'm content just to live it with it for now.
Cheers, Steven

Hoping someone can explain to me why, when I double click on a zip
file, Archive Utility creates a cpgz file of equal size?
I've looked at Archive Utility's preferences, but there are no
obvious settings to tweak. At the moment my workaround is to
manually decompress the zip file with Stuffit Expander, but it
would be better if Archive Utility would decompress zip files
automatically.
I realise I can change the system such that Stuffit Expander is
the default application to decompress zip files, but is this the
only option? It makes sense to me to have MacOS built in functions
be the default.
Hi Steven,
Are you saying that all zip files are having problems or is just
some failing to unzip correctly?
Maybe the file is corrupt or was made by a pc user with a
proprietary zip format that is not compatible?
Make your own zip file and see if you can open it correctly.
Download another zip file and see if you can open it.
Archive Utility supports these formats:
bom (.bom) [1]
bzip2 (.bz, .bz2)
cpgz (cpio gziped)
cpio (.cpio)
gz (.gzip, .gz)
tar (.tar)
tgz (tar gziped)
tbz, tbz2 (tar bziped)
compress (.Z)
UUencode
ZIP (.zip) – password-protected ZIP archives are not supported
Cheers,
Ronni
