SnapsCleaner1.4

A few things I'd like to point out. Unlike version 1.0, which I couldn't get to work at all --- all files ended up unchanged in the "BAD" folder, this version seems to do fairly well. Definitely better than SmallImage, which actually added large amounts of space to files. However, there are some flaws with this, definitely minor, though. First, it counts every single file in the demo mode, so all those invisible files get counted, leaving me with a test bed of only 5 real files. Picky, but hey, it should be ignoring anything that it cannot process, including invisible and text files (which it sends to the "BAD" folder). Second, the method of requiring an input and output directory is distinctly un-mac-like and very counterintuitive, in general, with today's computers. Drag and dropping a group of files or a folder onto the application or dock icon (or app window), should be the preferred method, with either the output going to a specific directory, or being tagged with "clean" or something similar in the same directory. Third, the routines cannot handle long or even two-byte text in directories. I'm not certain if this problem follows to two-byte text in files, but it does make me wonder what would happen if I tossed it a directory of Japanese files. Also, for $30, It would have to deal with ALL graphic file-types, TIFF, GIF, BMP, and anything else that can have metadata stuffed into it. And I would also like it to automatically remove all this data while I work with photoshop (which often sticks up to 40K worth of garbage into a file, even when you have the settings set to not do this). $30 otherwise is incredibly steep, even if you are removing this data from thousands of files at a time... A thing I can't test for since I can only get five files at a time. Suggestion: for $5 more, you can buy another GREAT Lemke product, GraphicConverter, and just resave these graphic files without metadata. Actually, maybe this function can be built into graphic converter..., maybe?
