HELIOS9 I looks like IceClean from MacDentro contains the same functions as FinderClean, so why not just use IceClean instead of FinderClean? Is FinderClean really needed ?

MACDENTRO.COM We submitted FinderClean 2.0.2 Version again.. that is IceClean zip package till we're going to fix Installer Package bugs.

SGGINC Used Pacifist to extract.

MRUBEN Installer proceeds normally, but doesn't actually seem to install the app - it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Weird.

LOCUTISOFBORED I should learn to read the requirements now, as this sadly does not seem to work with 10.4.10.

PETER DA SILVA Yah, I'm a little disturbed by the people coming out with Leopard-only software less than a week after the release of the OS.

I thought Linux developers were bad about portability (it works on Red Hat 7 *and* RHEL 4!), but this is just silly.

MUSHROOM_DADDY I think that you can still get a Tiger version (1.0) at the developers pages

PETER DA SILVA Like I said, I thought Linux developers were bad about portability.

Retaining compatibility with multiple versions of the same operating system is not a hard job. I've written software for 64-bit Alphas running Tru64... based on the last release of 4.3BSD before the 4.4 one that OS X is based on... that compiles and runs without change on 16-bit segmented pre-TCP/IP pre-BSD Microsoft Xenix, and I've got software I wrote 25 years ago for 6th and 7th Edition UNIX that compiles and runs without change on Tiger. I've written software that I've ported with *minor* changes to VAX/VMS, UNIX, AmigaDOS, MS-DOS, and CP/M-80.

Portability between two subsequent releases of the same operating system should be expected, not something that you blow off with "you can still download the no-longer-maintained old version".

DRDUL Handy little app! I just upgraded to Leopard, and was having trouble with the "Shared" section disappearing from my Finder sidebar. No matter what I did (including Go > Connect to Server), I couldn't connect to my MacBook Pro from my Mac Pro.

I noticed the new release of FinderClean, downloaded it, ran the "Force Relaunch Finder" utility, and voilà! The "Shared" section is back without the hassles of having to restart my computer or log out.

FinderClean includes some other nice utilities. I like the "Kill Dashboard" one, as I rarely use Dashboard, and the few times I do I'd like to empty the widgets out of memory afterwards. I have no idea what "optimize" Spotlight does, and there's no built-in help or detailed information on the developer's web site, but I ran it anyway.
