yes my finder preferences look like yours, the top box wasn't checked, but now I checked it, thanks!
Steps I take with the bundle download...I click on the Cake.ns2pb file from the forum (file in initial post), the file goes to the download section of my Safari 14.1.2 browser and as I do with all my downloads, I drag the file to my desktop (maybe this is wrong, lol). The bundle file is red and white box, as it should be a typical Nord bundle file.
Next, if I double click the file, naturally, it opens my NSM app, since this recognizes the file type. So, this is one difference - if it were a zip file, I can double click and it unzips the contents to 'finder'. So for the .ns2pb file, I'm having trouble 'compressing' it or making it a zip. I try control-click to get to the properties, and I can rename it there, or click-hold on the file, to rename it there. It appears that I am able to rename the file extension to .zip
However, I notice on the .ns2np files, when it gets renamed to .zip in this fashion, the 'zipper' becomes encased by the application, for example, its green when using Archive Utilities, or black when selecting Terminal. I had downloaded an outside app as suggested above ('Unarchive') and had no luck with that process either, so I deleted the app. (may have to try again)/
At one point I did get the file to unzip using Archive Util, but tried it again and it didn't work. I also was able to type in "unzip' using Terminal and drag the file in and again, it worked, but I couldn't locate the extracted files.
As all can see, I have to figure it out and come up with a process. the means to the end is probably something so simple.
If I can unzip using Terminal - where do the files extract to? I cannot locate them/.
