AUSFAHRT On 10.6.4, iMac, Toggle File Visibility returns an error every time: AppleScript Error: The domain/default pair of (com.apple.Finder, AppleShowAllFiles) does not exist (1) Also, when I try to reveal any folder, it says "An error occurred: The file you selected is already visible", when clearly from finder it is not. Tested on usr and iPod_Control. Basically, I haven't seen anything that this program can do correctly. Am I doing something wrong? It wouldn't have five stars if it doesn't work at all.

GRLGEEK This app saved me time and a reboot. I kept getting a "A copy of Firefox is already open" messages after a hang and force quit, though the application didn't show up in the list of what was running. A Google search told me which hidden profile file was creating the problem, but I didn't really want to switch hidden file view on for the entire machine from the terminal. Houdini let me find and delete the file and get my browser back up and running without rebooting the machine. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (The machine is running Snow Leopard, and the download provided here worked just fine.)

DCT Great app. My antivirus software found a virus in a hidden virtual memory directory and was unable to quarantine the file. I was about to go into Terminal to find the culprit when I thought, there must be "an app for that" and I found this little jewel, and FREE at that. Problem solved, and my antivirus software and system security is happy again. Thank you to the developer!

MACLOVER1.1 I wonder if people who do not back up actually brush their teeth ?!

SLRMAN "Like any true Mac user, I had failed to back up my files" This is NOT like a true Mac user. I think anyone that isn't smart enough to back up their files isn't smart enough to write any program I want on my system. So anyone that thinks about it will give this program a wide berth.

THFUMP Oh gimme a break, SLRMAN. Do you apply this weirdo logic to the rest of your life? "I think anyone that isn't smart enough to keep their refrigerator clean isn't smart enough to write any cookbook I want in my kitchen." You must be a delight. What is actually a delight is this great little app! Many thanks to ELEMENTNINETY3 for writing it; I'll happily keep it on my system for a long time to come.

SLRMAN I suppose no matter how stupid someone is about basic things, you will trust anything else they do? Yes, I do apply this logic to other things. Maybe that's why I;m not an idiot like you.

PAPSTER Unfortunately Houdini will not open on my Mac running OS 10.4.11. Unzipping Houdini download produces a faded folder icon: trying to open it triggers a message that it is not supported on my system. Can anyone explain what the problem might be, and how I might get round it? Thanks.

ROGER KATZ MacUpdate download problems I am unable to download this program via this page. I only get a download that takes me back to this same page. Despite the fact that I have successfully downloaded many, many, dozens of programs via MacUpdate, I have had this problem at the following specific MacUpdate pages: ID 27604 (ie., iTubeX Ultimate) ID 29994 (ie., iClip Lyrics) ID 30886 (ie., Pod to Mac) ID 26729 (ie., Houdini)
