The Unarchiver, part 2 (486)

Hello, just adding my experience here..

Recently I've been experiencing strange behaviour - Applications unzipped (using The Unarchiver, although I didn't realize it first) are unable to launch. They will just bounce in the dock. These are files unzipped in one of my User directories, usually Downloads.

Following some searching online, I've finally found out that this happens with The Unarchiver but works with files unzipped with the built-in utility. This happens on either of the v3.1 direct download or Mac App Store versions.

BUT... following msg #133 above, I tried the downloaded v3.1.1 legacy version and everything seems to work fine again. Apps are unzipped using The Unarchiver and they launch!

I'm glad the legacy version exists, but I hope you can fix the main Mac App Store version to work as expected. The cause of the no-launch is not apparent at first, so it'll cause a lot of grief. :)
