Product Description:

Spring Cleaning gets rid of hard drive clutter and wipes away Internet tracks to reclaim disk space and increase your Mac's performance. Completely uninstall old software and space-wasting files that become scattered all over your hard drive.

Version 10 includes supports for AppleScript and other scripting languages such as Python and Ruby by utilizing the Scripting Bridge support in Mac OS 10.5; helps Poser users collect and import scene content to better manage their extensive Poser Libraries; and includes some other improvements.

What's new in this version:

File Sorter - File Sorter uses customized criteria to organize all types of files, including documents, images and music, into folders according to file type, size, date created, date modified and more. Users can now easily organize folders into sub-folder groups similar to a filing cabinet so files are easier to access and manage.
Photo A.K.A. - New to Photo A.K.A. is Picasa and Flickr support, which enables users to rename, resize and upload photos directly to online photo albums on Flickr and Picasa websites. Photo A.K.A. also includes support for importing images from cameras and seamlessly exporting them to iPhoto with meaningful file names. Additional features include burning files to disc, saving files to archives or disk images, emailing files, resizing images and uploading them to web services.
Movie Finder - With the ability to identify 17 common video formats, Movie Finder uses a single interface to find all videos on the Mac, including QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG, Flash, AVI, iMovie projects, TiVo, DivX, Google Video, DVD files and many more.
Podcast Finder - This tool finds files on the Mac recognized as podcasts by iTunes and keeps them in a single, easy to search library. Instead of manually searching for podcasts scattered around the Mac, users can save valuable time by using Podcast Finder to quickly locate podcasts that users want to delete, archive, or burn to CD/DVD.
Application Scripting - Spring Cleaning now supports AppleScript and other scripting languages such as Python and Ruby by utilizing the Scripting Bridge support in Mac OS 10.5. This will allow users to create their own scripted workflows to automate common Spring Cleaning tasks.
Poser Integration - Spring Cleaning helps Poser users collect and import scene content to better manage their extensive Poser Libraries. Leveraging Spring Cleaning 10's new scripting support, PoserPython's scripting support facilitates collecting scene inventory and packaging it in disk images or StuffIt archives for delivery.

Untrustworthy vendor - Version: 10.0, 4/25/2009 03:42AM PST

I am completely annoyed by their dial home e-mail tool. There is no information on what they send out, how they use it or where it goes. Fortunately, PGP blocks it most of the time, but I've had it and am removing the utility in favor of CleanMyMac.

I have been evaluating 'Spring cleaning' for over a week, cleaning up duplicate files on my mac. I have no qualms about how the program runs and for what I want it to do it is very good, put simply its quite fast and it works well with a lot of options and filters available to narrow and speed up your search.

BUT...

Since installing the program (remember only for evaluation) I have been constantly nagged by a program called 'schedulemailer' trying to access my keychain on my mac, more specifically for my email account passwords. I was not made aware that this hidden app would be installed and running in the background on my mac persistently trying to access my most private data. After some research on various forums I read some published responses from Smith Micro about the application. None of them specifically defined the reason or function of the program, apart from it 'protects' your mac.

You make your own minds up but for me they have betrayed my trust and I for one will not be reinstalling any of their software again once I get rid of it.

Sorry my previous post was confusing to many. - Version: 10.0, 9/8/2008 09:43PM PST

In my previous post I was commenting on Spring Cleaning Version 9.1 which performed well for me in several tests without any errors or any of the problems some other users have reported. I was recommending version 9.1 and advising against any previous versions since I had encountered problems with the older versions in the past. I apologize for the confusion that the previous post caused.

I have not used the newest version at this time, version 10, so I cannot comment on it. However there are a lot of free software options that can do many of the same things as Spring Cleaning.

Again I am sorry for the confusion from my previous post.
