ERIC  Works fine on my new MacBook and Leopard.

I love the features and interface of this app.

For the average user it's got everything you need to keep your Mac humming and all the functions are layed out in one uncluttered window. I plan on running it every couple of weeks. For you Leopard users you don't have to worry about the daily, weekly and monthly scripts though. That's all automatic now as far as I know. Thanks Mr. Developer!

ROBK  What is the difference between "Maintenance" and "Onyx"?

They seem to do the same thing.

TITANIUM1  If you used an old version, try to quit Maintenance and delete the preferences file (com.titanium.Maintenance.plist).

BRIAN50  Thanks for the advice.

Maintenance was installed over a clean install of Leopard (10.5.1) on a new internal hard drive so no previous version .plist file present. I downloaded the app twice and attempted to save preferences six times before giving up.

Deeper was installed first and appears to work perfectly. Removing the Deeper .plist file, just on the off-chance, made no difference to Maintenance. It simply crashes when attempting to save preferences.

NOSRAC  Keep in Mind, Maintenance and Onyx have the same developer. Maintenance is more of the 'clean up' side of Onyx.

JEFF H.  Works very well for me.

It seems to be as fast (maybe even faster) than Onyx, and doesn't reset all of my set prefs for my movie files (like Onyx has started to do for some strange reason).

It's the GUI that I always use now to run scripts.

Great app!
