For those posting questions I've used this on Snow Leopard and Lion with no problems. If you get a "glitch" where it's not responding as some listed click the logging icon, the click "delete database" and it will rescan your apps and all will work normally again.
This is the most configurable and thorough file deleter I've used. It will find preference files, etc. based on name and if logging is enabled then it will find files the program in question used for more completeness. This will also find some files (not selected for deletion by default) that you may not want to delete such as photos, songs, etc.
The most advanced option is to share what you delete along with a file and see what others deleted when they removed it. It's has no user identifiable information but allows you to see what files most other advanced users deleted. Sometimes it helps to know that 292 of 295 users deleted some obscure file you are not certain you should delete.
It shows the safety/danger of deleting files as a gauge, and if you stick to green you are safe, yellow usually safe, and red only if you really know what you are doing.
I like the premise and the function, but MAN is this thing a memory hog! Typically used 185 Meg or so and at times gets up over 500 Megs! Usually a quit and restart of it will bring it back down to 125 Megs where is slowly climbs over days to 500 Megs or so.
Runs Windows 7 on 32 or 64 bit. Link to download Ubuntu and Fedora - real easy to install. Like to download Chrome OS, although I still don't understand exactly what all the hype is over Chrome.
Does not play all Windows games, but many play nearly as fast as when I boot into BootCamp. I find myself using BC less and less often because now I seldom have to.
Dual pane mode allows quick move/copy/compare. Tabs are a great feature. Has all regular Finder function plus lets you see and manipulate system and invisible files. Can MOVE files from one location to another, even on different drives using the Cut/Paste function much as with Windows. Nice to not have to drag the file to new location then delete original after a copy is made in the new location.
I was skeptical of the settings allowing me to change my download parameters for DSL, etc. but I have tested them repeatedly with several utilities and indeed it makes up to 20% difference in download and up to 50% increase in upload.
