ExpanderQueue is online!

I use Stuffit Expander a lot. I haven't found anything better on Mac OS X for extracting my downloaded files yet.

The problem is that sometimes I have many files with different passwords to extract and I don't want to switch to Expander after each File and then get the password first and copy-paste it and....you got my point. 

Another example is when I leave my computer and there's many files to extract (and we all know that extracting has a pretty high CPU usage) it would be nice to have them unpacked while I'm gone. With Stuffit Expander I have to retype the password even its the same every time.

That's when i got annoyed and developped this little helper Application which I called "ExpanderQueue". It's my first AppleScript Studio Project so don't expect too much yet :)

Still, it's working by now and it fits my needs pretty well. Obviously I'll continue developping in near future, if any useful suggestions are made.

You can add files to a list and set a password for each file. If you have many files with the same password you can use the "set password" feature to add the password to all files. When you hit "expand" ExpanderQueue launches Stuffit Expander and starts extracting the files starting with the file you added first. When expanding large files (100mb+) ExpanderQueue the system displays the rotating cursor symbol. Don't be bothered by that and just let ExpanderQueue in the background. I'll try to fix that if possible.
