Problems with Snow Leopard - Version: 1.4.1, 10/16/2009 01:49AM PST

I've used Monolingual for ages and up until recently it has worked very well. However, with Snow Leopard it often hung and then crashed. I tried uninstalling all the non-Intel architectures on my Mac Pro using this and managed to cripple Snow Leopard, forcing a re-install.

Do not uninstall architectures with this utility as it does not work properly.

I got to the stage where I decided to simply get rid of Monolingual. Disk space is now so cheap that trying to slim your system is fraught with danger and for the most part, pointless.

THis program *censored*ed up the updating of Microsoft Office 2008 and I had to reinstall the program and all the updates over again. What a pain. Has this been sorted out in this version?

So glad the developer released a version that's compatible with Snow Leopard. I've used it for almost 3 years; I run it after I download a few big software updates. I've personally never had any problems running it in Tiger, Leopard, or even Snow Leopard. I often do clean-up utilities one after the other--checking for permissions problems is my last step. And I have not had permissions problems from running this app. Only APPLE updates have ever given me that problem.
