Brrr! Be aware, your Mac can behave very strange at times doing this (sound volume of streams change) and (of course) your Mac is unresponsive during purge

The thought of old Cocktail, haven't used it for a while, deleted cache files and all was working fine.... I'm going to start using it more often!

I also noticed that Cocktail has a Finder setting to make the user Library folder visible again.

Incredibly responsive developer.
Indeed Cocktail is one of my "must have" apps.

The e-mail announcement clearly states that this would override whatever setting is selected in the General preference pane, but it does not.
I updated from within Cocktail 5.1.4, not from a separate download.

I suspect a fix is already in the making (or so I hope).

However, if you are an Apple Developer, have access to the preview releases of OS X Mountain Lion and want to test Cocktail (Mountain Lion Edition) before it is released this summer, please email us at beta(at)maintain.se and we will notify you when a beta version is available for download.

This app does several things you may not understand what it does. Before you buy it, you should look at the trial and see if it's worth having. There are plenty of free apps that have several of these functions, but not all. At the least, I can say it's good for purging ram. (even though you can use terminal for it, terminal seems to take longer.)
There are some files it can't delete in the "delete locked files: function. For example, if a file if stopped in the middle of a transfer, it's difficult to find a way to delete it.
The maintenance scheduler is nice, but not very customizable.
For the most part, I would say it would be worth about $10 max. unless you can make the best use of everything offered, it isn't worth the $15. It would be nice if there were a "light" $5 version.

This should be clear enough.

Seems any version after 512 is a problem for me. I notice lots of pages refuse to load in safari and says I am not connected to my LAN. Only application I have installed updates for have been Cocktail, so I am presuming that it is the issue w/cleaning cache or system cron scripts (which are the only things I use it for).
I'm using 512 (OSX 10.7.3) w/o issue atm.

Cocktail opens up without any window and without saying what it's doing, but scanning my OSX.5.8 hard drives for endless 60 seconds, then opening an application list showing all my apps and asking: "Where is Cocktail?" Evil! Bad joke for 15$. Only good for trashing it instantly.

I started up from 10.6 and when I tried to launch Cocktail 4.5 I was given an error saying "Cocktail cannot be launched from this Mac because it's not compatible" or something alone those lines.
This would be a shame if the developer is doing this intentionally.

some time ago is not accepted for this latest version.
Must owners of previous versions repurchase Cocktail to use the latest edition?

Handily, apple/support/discussions had this nifty thread that explained how to fix it.
Delete the folder /Library/StartupItems/Cocktail.
The helpful discussion in discussion:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5865520�
I suggest the programmer either fix or idiot proof this setting area, and anyone who doesn't know precisely what they are doing leave it alone.
