Sometimes handy to search for hidden flag files like keys ;)
A tool that everyone should master.

Can you explain? If not, then your comment was pointless.

I've seen a lot of people suggest that every piece of software under the sun should be upgraded to 64 bit, even in cases where it would actually decrease efficiency. I'll admit that I don't know enough about the interplay of the kernel and fseventer to know whether being 64 bit would somehow improve fseventer (although I must assume the developer knows more than either of us).
It would be nice if you have enough knowledge (which you imply without directly saying or proving), for you to share that knowledge with us so that we can make informed decisions as to whether your complaint bears merit.

2 LICENCE KEY
2.1 The use of the software, beyond ‘demo' mode and any specified trial period, requires a licence key from the licensor. The licence key may be a printable digital key, a non-printable file, or any other mechanism used by the licensee for licence activation purposes. Each licensee, upon payment of the licence fee, will be provided with one licence key which may be used by that licensee only. The licence key will be valid for all point releases of the current major releases. The licensee shall not (i) attempt to “hack,” “crack,” or otherwise override this licence key or (ii) distribute this licence key.
Which is it, Free or Fee?

The app occasionally asks if you'd like to make a donation, and this donation request can be turned off via a checkbox.

Please consider the value you receive and take the time to donate. Developers of such useful apps must be enticed to continue their efforts to all our benefit.
To the fellow that was confused by the toolbar buttons...
Hover your mouse over the button for a popup. You can also right-click and select "Customize Toolbar." There you can either identify all the buttons, customize their arrangement, or permanently add text labels.

The only tool of it's kind that visually shows what is being accessed in real-time when launching programs or using an installer.
P.s. The fools that suggested the alternatives are clueless, none of those un-installers have ever visually shown anything for launched apps or installers.

The help file says that to run it, "hit the green run button..." Well there are two green icons, but neither seems to be a run button. I'm guessing that the run button got replaced by a cd/MP3 player style play button that looks like a triangle pointing to the right.
I still haven't figured out what the other buttons do, so a bit of updated documentation would be helpful. Or if someone knows, posting it here would be helpful too.
But, I have been able to get it to work well enough that I may actually pay/donate $$$ for it.
