DESCRIPTION
AppTrap does pops up a dialogue asking if you'd like to delete all associated files with trashed applications, allowing for a more complete clean-up of your Mac.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.0.5:
- Fix broken localizations
- Fix blank Read Me file
- Fix website/donation buttons
Version 1.0.4:
- Don't spawn lots of zombied processes (thanks Jeremy!)
- Improved prefpane/application bridge
- Reduce concurrent memory usage radically
- Don't be so aggressive about filenames (i.e. trashing Ableton Live shouldn't catch LiveType, thanks Christefano!)
- Add Japanese localization (thanks Tom!)
Version 1.0.3:
- Fix bug where AppTrap was terminated every time the prefpane was launched
Version 1.0.2:
- Fix crash on startup
- Finds a lot more system files
- Detect if the trashed app came from a Sparkle auto-update, and ignore
- Check both user and global library
- Simple version check until Sparkle supports bundles
- Fix a couple of memory leaks (thanks Håkan)
- Fix fatal bug if the bundle identifier or bundle name was not found (thanks Gregard)
- Added localizations: Danish, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish and Traditional Chinese
- Lots and lots of small fixes!
Version 1.0.1:
- Search folders recursively
- Remember the expanded state of the dialogue window
- Fix random crash on startup
- Fix a couple of memory leaks (thanks Håkan!)
- AppTrap is now open source, yay!

RGMENKE Like many OS X users, I've lamented the lack of a deinstaller built into the OS. From the beginning I've used Deinstaller to remove demo or no longer needed apps. The process worked as long as pkgs were installed, otherwise they don't appear on the list. Then I stumbled upon AppTrap. Wow! Apple should pay the developer for the code and implement it now. The program loads as a Preference Pane an that's it. Anytime you drag an application into the trash AppTrap locates the associated files and deletes them as well. What could be easier?

JEFFNE SCHELIN The best uninstaller in my opinion. Doesn't requires me to launch it at all. Big up to the developers.

KZX72 This program (not Cleanapp, Appzapper, Appdelete etc) is the uninstaller Apple forgot... Keep updating it!

ZO219 This is definitely a 5 star utility - a pref pane, actually. But it functions perfectly: behind the scenes, catching most everything I delete, asking if I want associated files deleted too. 99% of the time, I do. What a time and work saver!

ALGOS I love this little prefpane. Helps just a bit to keep your system somewhat more clean. As said before, it only sometimes misses out on the fact that it is a Sparkle update. I also would like something like an exception list, so that you never see the warning for specific apps.

TICE Great little helper! Unless all others, this thingy ask to help, so you don't forget to get rid of that junk files when you trash an app.

DNELSON After upgrading to 1.0.5, System Preferences gives me an error: Is this version for 10.5 only or something? I have 10.4.11.

DNELSON This app has saved me nearly an hour in total from searching for PLIST files and caches. It's truly amazing! Okay, there is one negative: it only SOMETIMES ignores Sparkle updates. About half the time I have to tell it "No".
