BlueHarvest8.0.2

This is one of the excellent install and forget type utility.

This is one of the excellent install and forget type utility.

The blurb here says "it blocks new ones [clutter files] from being created." Is that really true? As far as I can tell, no other utility claims to be able to do that. And the blurb for BlueHarvest in the App Store does not make that claim.

This is actually a great app, and v7.0.0 worked fine. But now, with update 7.0.1, the app fails to install the privileged helper. Too bad.

Being on a work network this is a life saver. Gets rid of the mac junk that's left behind but the windows garbage too. Works great and very simple.

It's updated to 6.1.4 The app it self show update 6.1.4, but the web site not show the update (in release history), but when we download the file it will give you 6.1.4.

This app is a salvation.

v.6 is an upgrade - $2.99 I've been using Blue Harvest for, who knows how many years, and it's great. The ability for the Mac to clean up after itself on non-mac file servers seems, like good manners and housekeeping - well worth it. With v.6 Ross has added the ability to schedule clean ups - this means you can have a Mac clean up the server, even if other Macs attaching to the server do not have BH activated - even better.

I would like to see the option to perform additional task also on mounting non Mac disks.

Thank you for keeping this great utility updated and working correctly in Mountain Lion. It's one of those minor hassles of working in OS X which is solved beautifully behind the scenes with this app!

Hi, Well, maybe I did something wrong while setting up BlueHarvest. If I did so, then everything can be explained. But here is why I tried it. I store music and movies on a Network hard drive connected via USB to my Apple AirPort Extreme which itself is connected to my computer via Ethernet. I want to access to those folders using an Oppo BDP-105 networked universal player that can access networked volumes using SMB/CIFS and so, appreciate if it doesn't show up those annoying files. The hard drives show up as networked volumes. They are formatted in HFS+ but as they are considered as networked volumes, I assume that the format is irrelevant here. Well, whatever I move from my computer to the networked harddrive, there are two options : - 1°) the original folder does not contain any of those .XXX scammed files and thus they do not appear on the networked volume ; - 2°) the original folder does contain those annoying files and they are copied even though I ask BlueHarvest to clean up networked volume and they are still there after I select the folder an choose "Clean using BlueHarvest" from the contextual menu. So, good idea... but poor execution as far as I am concerned. But considering the other comments, I must have done something wrong :-(

I've been using it since blue harvest 3 pay to update to 4 but received v5 freely from developers. I've try some similar app even with recent CMD with have nice GUI, but eat bigger memory. CMD use 48MB but blue harvest only use 9MB, and it sit silently in my prefpane. Never find any trouble, and after installing this app my friend never complain about weird file in their disk anymore.

My contextual menu is not visible, although it is present in the Contextual Menus folder. Any suggestions?

Blueharvest v4.0.0 and later does not work with the Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X 7.0.3 which is used to enable write NTFS disks. When Paragon NTFS driver is installed on Mac OS 10.6 Blueharvest v4.0.0 and later does not delete the invisible files on NTFS disks. Nevertheless the Blueharvest v3.5 works fine in these conditions. So I contunue using Blueharvest v3.5. Nikolay

for two weeks Safari can't find the server “zeroonetwenty.com”

System Preferences throws up a sheet saying that this pref pane cannot be installed. 10.4.11 on a G3 PPC

Windows also creates annoying files that are visible under OS X, such as "Thumbs.db" inside a folder containing pictures...

If Apple claims to work seamleslly together with pc's, I find they should include something like this. Great program

How about an Intel Mac port?

Living in the world of both Macs & PCs (like many nowdays)I find this little app very handy as I am constantly shifting files between systems. You can remove those damn .DS_Store files and resource folks with a little work in Terminal but using BlueHarvest definately saves time and effort. I was happy to pay the small fee to register. Moving data between Windows and OS X should be a simple task and I find this a real weakness with the HFS file system. I hope Apple resolve this in the next big cat version of OS X.
