iCan CommentaryProblems in 10.5.1 - Version: 3.0.5, 1/25/2008 12:00AM PST

A minor glitch. I can't seem to be able to drag items to the can in 10.5.1. I can do the Command/Delete and it work fine, but when I drag, it only highlights the can, but it does not go in.

Maybe a new update will be forthcoming soon?

excellent app. nice to have on the desktop. best of all the "trash can programs" for OS X.
excellent support from the developer as well. emails promptly responded too.

works in Tiger, Leopard fine. did notice in Leopard that when you drag items to the trash and empty via iCan, sometimes the trash can does not update and it shows that items are in it, but they are not. if you use the finder to empty the trash, then all is well. a small glitch that i am sure the dev will address.

highly recommended.
Cheers
