MIKEH  Yes, same problem for Speed Download. But GraphicConverter, SpamSieve and iTunes all treated OK and trimmed.

COMMANDER LAZENBY  You can actually get a PPC-only binary from the Downloads section of the Speed Download 3 site.

GREGW  I've confirmed the issue with Speed Download, but can't find anything else so far that behaves the same way. I'm not sure exactly what's causing it (I have a guess basd on a comment made by SD's developer, but nothing concrete) and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to predict it for any given file. The next release of TTF, though, will have and default to a "safe" mode that backs up the original item before trimming.

GREGW  The verdict is that TTF didn't corrupt Speed Download. Speed Download detected that its executable had been modified and refused to run other than putting up a dialog saying so.

HERMIT  This is normal for an update. The update is only installing the CHANGED files (those being updated). If the directory structure doesn't exist, the installer creates them. But, the downside is that if you've moved or deleted the original file / program, you're left with an un-updated app and / or a useless folder that holds updated files.

The only fixes would be to 1) get a copy of the original program by either a) restoring from backup (you have one, right?), b) re-installing from the original install disc, or c) extracting from the original install pkg, then 2) either a) copy the updated files into the corresponding folders or b) re-update.

If you were expecting an UPDATE to include the whole program it updates, then you should also expect an update file that is almost as large as the original install (in this case, a DVD).

MCGUFFIN  I undertstand that updating has its advantages but i dont understand the point in updating a widget when a replacement can be included in the package for very little extra space. The address book widget is 340k and the google widget is only 40k. In fact all the apple widgets together are only 2.5 megs so why not just do a complete replace rather than an upgrade?

i deleted the calender widget because i didnt look too good but the new calender widget looks great. Problem is i have no way of getting at the new widget without jumping through hoops, just seems a lot of effort just for a widget!

good advice though, appreciate it!

TOMIS  That's what you get for mucking with your system files. Unexpected behavior.

You don't like the apple widgets? Disable them within dashboard's own widget manager. You don't have to delete them.

That's like the user who goes deleting safari first thing after getting osx, because they dont know what it does,and then they wonder why their browser wont start up!

Of course, apple really should lock the system down more and prevent people from removing system pieces so easily.

MCGUFFIN  there was no widget manager in 10.4, that's when i deleted the widgets. and i dont see why widgets are classed as system files.

widgets dont affect the os or other apps, so why should they have a higher status then anything else at user level?

its just a completely stupid system. If you delete an app like safari or quicktime, you can re-download the latest version from apple. If you delete an apple widget you have to reinstall from a backup, or go digging around in the dvd, and then re-update to 10.4.4. Someone point out to me how this is a sensible system?
