dmg.gz Files: Extract to Nowhere?I have both BOMArchiveHelper and Stuffit installed, but when I double click a .gz file (such as the download on this page: UptimeInMenuBar), I see a quick expansion progress bar, and then no extracted file. I have also tried to open the .gz file with Stuffit, but it seems to provide no option to see the archive contents and manually drag it out of the package. Instead even when launched that way, it proceeds to extract it, but I still don't see a file. I had a similar situation with a collection of screensavers in a .gz package. Never got to use them, as they never seemed to extract. So, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I hosted it for you, download here as a normal disk image.
As for why it's not extracting, I have no idea, it worked fine on my Powerbook.I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can.

To show hidden files you open Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.Finder ShowAllFiles TRUE
Minding the Caps. To reverse it, just type FALSE in place of true.I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can.
