Preferences screen displays when UnArchiver is used.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The UnArchiver's preference screen opens each time the program is tasked.

Have attempted a variety of corrective measures such as uninstall/reinstall, 
conflicting file search, et. al.

Moving to the desktop didn't fix the issue. Another one that caused The 
Unarchiver to stop working: "MouseFixer"

Got the same problem.
Console show a message : " The Unarchiver[36148]: Antidote - Texteurs: Module 
texteur installé dans /Applications/The Unarchiver.app (cx.c3.theunarchiver)" 

Seeing all the above reports, maybe is it related to some kind of plugin 
interface you (or apple) are offering to other components that blocks at some 
point... my two cents.

Confirmation of my previous post : I put the unarchiver in the exclusion list 
of antidote, and the problem is solved. (note that I did not have to remove 
antidote, just to prevent it from hooking into the unarchiver).
Hope this helps.

I don't have any of the mentioned third-party apps. I am noticing several log 
entries related to SIMBL.osax, and I saw it mentioned online that The 
Unarchiver is one app responsible for installing this ScriptingAddition 
extension.

I'm seeing these error messages in my Console:
----

this scripting addition to supply a value for ThreadSafe for each event

Note that this problem didn't start happening for me until I upgraded to 
Yosemite, and then it's been happening very frequently. The Preference window 
appears 90% of the time instead of starting the unarchiving process on my 
selected file. Very frustrating.

The Unarchiver installs no SIMBL extensions, so whatever you read was mistaken. 
It comes from somewhere else, and is likely responsible for breaking The 
Unarchiver.

I have Afloat installed, which clearly is the reason why I saw a connection 
between SIMBL and The Unarchiver... SIMBL is invoked for every Cocoa app that 
launches.

Note - I finally installed the legacy version of the app and the Preferences 
window problem went away. Do you have a fix for that yet? Do you need more info?

I have no idea if this is correct, but I've read some of the thread and I've 
had the same issue recently (running OS X 10.10.2) .. however, I managed to 
reproduce it though.

I've installed Mumble 1.2.4 and if I suspend my computer with Mumble running, 
this cause The Unarchive to not function properly and throws me the Preference 
dialog instead. If I just close Mumble, it works just fine again..

It's probably a good idea to report the bug to the Mumble developers, too.

I also have this problem and I have SIMBL and  Afloat installed. (running OS X 
10.10.3)
