Existing users, 
One of the things that makes me grumpy about OSX is that some apps, notably including some of Apple's, insist on being where _they_ decide to be rather than where I want to put them.
Goldfish is _worse_ in that a folder "Goldfish 2.0" is created where _they_ decide it must go and, if you rename it, poof, nothing works! This is fascism and I will not tolerate it. Goldfish might be everything the other reviewers say and it might even be the answer to my prayers but it's not going to hang around on my drive.
Plonk!

If you mean you want to uninstall it, and find it tough, try CleanApp. You can locate an app by name and get completely rid of all trace, no matter where it is installed. Watch it though - it's a powerful and specific app, only delete what you know you want to.Friday, October 05 2007 @ 04:41 PM PDT

Your not installing this app because it 'decides' where to place itself?Seems a little harsh to me (you must have a seriously empty apps folder.)
I admit I'm not a huge fan of installers, but all that Goldfish does is install the application and template folder in apps, and a preference file in the user library. Easy enough to remove if you decide you don't like.
As for 'fascism'...have you been keeping up with global events?
Regards

QUOTE [all that Goldfish does is install the application and template folder in apps, and a preference file in the user library]This is incorrect. Goldfish also installs many fonts in Library/Fonts. There's more under the hood than you've posted.
It would appear you're the developer or some friend of the developer and seems to repeatedly post combative replies to reviews which are not 100% favorable.

That makes both of us incorrect then as I am not the developer or in any way connected with the developer. Have you read my comments history? To say that I repeatedly post 'combative' replies to reviews that are not 100% is nonsense. I stand corrected though; yeah Goldfish also installs some additional fonts which are probably not required so fair point.Friday, November 30 2007 @ 12:54 PM PST

grh_svo doesn't have an Applications folder. He has partitioned his HD to have an apps *partition*, and complains when an app creates an Applications folder for him. (I guess this foils those horrid fascist developers, at the expense of having a working system.) I read his comment history ... quite a mix!Monday, November 26 2007 @ 09:43 AM PST

Pejorative retorts do nothing for the quality of any debate. Metaphorically-speaking, in this context, "fascism" equates to an application saying to me "to hell with you and your preferences. I'm going to install myself where _I_ want and you must just put up with it." Where is the essential difference between that and the extreme right-wing politics that launched the word?To update another respondent's remarks, I have several hard drives in my machine, one dedicated to apps only. If I am not allowed to place apps where I want them, my workspace will quickly become impossibly-complex. 120 or so gigabytes of apps do permit me to put things where I want, as is the Mac way.
A small number (Techtool Pro and Goldfish, for example) think their wishes are more important than mine and proceed to buck the Apple philosophy of making things easy for the user. Adobe, recently, has become similarly-hegemonic (if you don't like "fascist). CS3 lets me put things at the root level of my apps drive but, if I move them further or change the name of the folder, I'm forced to enter my password every time. This is not the way things should be, your criticism notwithstanding.
