| 2. I would like StuffIt to have the option to create a folder, but I would
|    prefer you not to force that on me.  Sometimes I want to look at the
|    documentation or README file on a program without extracting the whole
|    mess.  Forcing the folder prevents me from doing that.
+---------------

This one could be solved by having something (option-click on folder?) expand
the folder's contents in the archive listing; then select items as usual.
This gives the user the option of extracting the entire folder with a
double-click or extracting single items from the folder in the usual way.
