This app is completely indispensible! Unfortunately it hasn't been updated for OS 10.4, so out of the box it doesn't manage Dashboard Widgets or Spotlight (for example).

Fortunately, it is very flexible and customisable. After I got 10.4 it only took a minute or two to add both of those to Alfred. In other words, the program is well enough designed that the fact that it hasn't been updated is a nonissue. Great program.

That being said, if the author would just add these once, all the individual users wouldn't have to.
