I've used this many times to find what hidden files unscrupulous developer's like to install on your Mac. With it's easy to understand graphical view, it's snap locating unwanted files and trashing them.

Thank you for such a great tool, a must have for all Mac users that like to play with new software.

As for the complaints I've seen: :lol:

1) The developer made it very easy to turn off the donate question, if you can't figure how to turn it off you don't deserve to be using a Mac in the first.

2) Who cares about fslogger , once again this ain't the PC world, if it ain't got a GUI it ain't worth being on the Mac.

I didn't buy a Mac so I could be reminded of Dos 3.3 on a winblows machine by using terminal and unix commands on my Mac's. LOL

fseventer CommentaryGreat product, but NOT freeware. - Version: 2.6.5, 8/12/2008 09:00AM PST

Okay, the product is absolutely wonderful. But should it be classified as freeware when the author writes in reminders to donate in the middle of using it? Really. "Donate?" or "Quit" are the options during a session. That is clearly NOT freeware. It is donationware or shareware... possibly even ransomware (if you don't donate, i'll terminate this session).

I really do think it is worthy of a donation, and I wouldn't really complain if he wrote the whole application. But he based it off of the functionality (maybe even the source code) of fslogger which you can get for free from Amit Singh's website osxbook.com/software . He gives Singh credit for it.

So it's a great product. But if you want a truly freeware version (without a GUI front end), get fslogger. If he stops calling it Freeware, I'll donate.
