StuffIt SpaceSaver™ — Increase Disk Space Effortlessly
StuffIt SpaceSaver invisibly compresses your files and folders so quickly and
quietly you may never notice it’s there.
At just about the speed of your hard disk, StuffIt SpaceSaver can compress and
expand on-demand (as you specify) or automatically (while the Macintosh is
sitting idle).
Most importantly is that you don’t change the way you work with the Macintosh.
Double-click a file in the Finder. Open a document from an application. Choose
Save from a menu. Everything works flawlessly. But with one difference – the
files are smaller.
From the developers of StuffIt Deluxe, StuffIt SpaceSaver combines over six
years of experience in Macintosh compression with a desire to provide a
transparent compression solution you can buy from a dealer or mail order firm
for under $40.
And since it’s a member of the StuffIt family, you’ll enjoy 100% compatibility
with StuffIt archives. Why buy a new hard disk – when you can have a space
saver — StuffIt SpaceSaver.
Key Features & Benefits
Use compressed files normally — There’s no need to change the way you work with
your Macintosh. When you use a compressed file, SpaceSaver transparently
expands it for you. When you’re done working with the file, SpaceSaver
automatically recompresses it for you.
Compress files and folders on demand — SpaceSaver instantly compresses any file
or folder an average of 50% (one-half its original size). Some graphic files
compress up to 98% (one-twentieth their original size). Simply add a ‘keyword’
to the name or select an icon and choose a menu in the Finder. All the data is
there; it just takes up less space.
Automatically compress inactive files – while the computer is idle. —
SpaceSaver uses Idle-Time Compression™ to automatically compress any file that
hasn’t been modified for a specified length of time (two weeks, six months or any
other period you choose). The longer you use SpaceSaver, the more space you
have.
100% StuffIt Deluxe compatible — StuffIt is the de facto standard for archiving
on the Macintosh. Use the StuffIt format to compress multiple files and folders
together into a single, smaller file. Simply add “.sit” or “.sea” to any file
or folder name and SpaceSaver instantly turns it into a genuine StuffIt or
self-extracting StuffIt archive.
Safe to use — SpaceSaver goes out of its way to ensure that data is never
lost—even in the event of a power failure.
Fully user configurable — Tailor SpaceSaver to fit your style. You can change
your compression ‘keyword.’ If you are in France, you can instruct SpaceSaver
to compress any idle that begins with ‘petit’.
