MEATMCGUFFIN  Fair enough. How about replacing the delete option with a 'reveal in finder' option?

That way the user can delete it in the finder if he needs to and there's no danger of accidental deletion.

MEATMCGUFFIN  Excellent program, although i deleted it immediately after finding out there is no confirmation after clicking 'delete property list'.

Although the seperator bar is welcome, the lack of a confirmation dialogue is a little disconcerting

JPPAGLIARO  I agree, but the functionality is provided as a contextual menu, and therefore lacks a user interface. Thus, no alerts are possible.

I am considering replacing that with a "move to trash" operation instead, maybe as an option. Problem is that specifying options for a CM again requires a UI, and hence the need to create a preference pane for it.

How exactly can you not give free software 5 stars for value? And how many features do you need for a notification system? And how is it not easy to use when you don't need to do anything except click a button to start it?

I'm going to go with moron.

MEATMCGUFFIN  LISTEN UP!

Sorry to be dramatic but SafariTidy and PithHelmet both stop Safari 3 from working properly so bear this in mind when you launch it. Also Saft stops working as it hasn't been tested with this version.

Piclens also doesn't work with this version but you don't have to remove it.

Remove the offending plugins and it works fine.

MEATMCGUFFIN  This needs a MUCH tighter check on whether a language can be deleted or not. I have my default system language as UK English and xslimmer will allow me to delete all language packs that are not UK English, which includes regular English.

If I had hit slim when i first scanned, instead of looking at xslimmer's preferences, my system would be useless now. To test this i used xslimmer itself and it stripped *every* language leaving it useless and unlaunchable.

You really should disallow slimming on apps that only have one language remaining.

XSLIMMER  @meatmcguffin - We are sorry you encountered problems with Xslimmer. Our code does indeed check that there is at least a remaining language for every app before removing the language folders. This might be a bug with the UK English variant, we are currently checking it and, if confirmed, will release a patch soon.

Thanks for reporting your experience, reliability is of the foremost importance to us.

BRUCE_Y  (just looking into Xslimmer because of the MU special...)

It is my understanding that English is an 'always required' language component, regardless of the user's native language choice. (one of the other similar apps I have indicates that as well)

XSLIMMER  Hi Bruce,

The reason Monolingual and other similar apps do not remove English is because they perform a batch search of all language folders across the whole system, including some system locations not intended to be dealt with. Removing English localization from those locations is not safe, and thus, those applications completely avoid removing English from the system.

Xslimmer, on the other hand, is devoted to reduce the size of regular applications, and not of any system components or frameworks. User-intended applications can perfectly run even if they do not contain an English localization. Xslimmer algorithm was designed to preserve at least one localization for each app, that localization being the same as the preferred one configured in your System Preferences.

Unfortunately, there was a bug in the initial release of this feature a few hours ago. Some users, including those whose preferred language was "British English" (not to be confused with the more frequent "English") were affected by this bug. It was a flaw in our code we had not detected, even though we had conducted a closed beta programme to test these new features. This mistake has nothing to do with the fact that some of the affected users had British English configured in their machines.

The bug has now been solved, and a new version of Xslimmer has just been released. Users of 1.2.0 can "Check for updates" to download 1.2.1.

Our apologies to the affected users, and many thanks to the British customers that reported the problem to us.

MEATMCGUFFIN  very neat app. two suggestions though:

there should be a way of removing and adding apps. (i don't have translucy but i do have two versions of mactheripper!)

the next most useful thing would be to have erroneus check to see if any of the listed apps is running when a dvd is inserted. if this is the case then arroneus should close.

other then that, awesome and timesaving. cheers!

MEATMCGUFFIN  This sorts through the majority of my iphoto 5 library perfectly but when it gets to three pictures of my girlfriend i get the error:

«script» doesn't understand the fileSize message. (-1708)

then nothing happens and i have to stop the program. Removing the pics from the library manually solves this problem but it's annoying as this is such a great app otherwise. Can this be solved by upgrading my girlfriend?
