I haven't been able to trace the problem yet, but on my system running 10.3.9 I have random system crashes caused by the system freezing, monitor shutting off, and other graphics/video crashes. This is using version 1.0. However, since they indicate the only changes made have been with respect to serial numbers, it's not worth another system crash to test this version.
There is one requirement not listed. When launching the script or accessing it from Butler, it asks for the location of Microsoft Word. Why? Even when I pointed it to a copy of the Word classic application, it merely opens the Script Editor. When trying to run it in the Script Editor, it produces an error caused by Word class definitions being inaccessible. I liked the idea for the scripts but wasn't keen on having to hack them up to rid them of the Word dependency.
Am I missing something here? Flash and Shockwave are Macromedia products not Adobe. Macromedia produces the Flash browser plugin. The graphic used in the listing is also for Macromedia's Flash.
GreaseMonkey appears to be a Firefox extension (http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/). So, it would appear this developer is working on something similar for Safari.
Since I find no mention of a 1.7.9 release on Mozilla's website or any of the other news outlets, I have to assume this isn't an official release. The fact that it can only be found on Mozilla's ftp server under nightly builds confirms this. Nightly builds or snapshots are not official releases. I'll wait until they announce the real deal.
I'm not so sure I would call them "pesky" files. .DS_Store is used by Directory Services. If you have FBC files, it's because you're using FindByContent. Not all resource forks are useless. Finally, the .Trashes are used via the Finder for storing files you delete by emptying the Trash. Deleting any or all of these files you may find certain functions no longer work or programs that no longer function.
Trying to download a copy of this version, I end up with a 4KB gzip'd dmg file. StuffIt pretends to expand it but doesn't. ZipIt gives an "unexpected eof error".
[Version 1.5]
