I've heard of this StuffIt bug, but this is the first time I've
run into it.
Does anybody know of a workaround, or have news or rumors of a fix from
Connectix? It seems odd for a bug like this to go unfixed for so long.
As far as I can tell, it isn't a "bug" so much as a missing
feature. Despite the fact that the StuffIt file format supports
long Unicode file names, the StuffIt software for Mac OS does not
actually support this. The mangled file name you see above is the
"short" name automatically generated by the OS when the file was
created. You will see the same file name if you look at the file
from Classic or Mac OS 9.
