MacDust 2.51 refuses to work on my iMac (Leopard). I click on 'clean' (whatever the application happens to be) and nothing happens.

Hi AppleGeek,Previous versions of your application MacDust, have worked well, and I thank you. However, version 2.56 will not even 'fire-up' properly. Let me explain : I double click the MacDust icon and if the application does appear on screen it then disappears, and I am left with an Apple message telling me the application (MacDust) has quit unexpectedlty. In other cases I simply see the Apple quit message, without even seeing MacDust appear ! I have deleted the com.theapplegee.MacDust.plist file along with the actual application on many occasions, reinstalled again and again, all to no avail. Please tell me if there are other MacDust/AppleGeek files on my Leopard iMac that I should also be deleting prior to reinstalling again.
By the way, I have checked/repaired my hard drive's permissions.
Thanks.

Cleaning for some reason has tremendously speed up in Leopard. I know this from personal experience. The log has start and stop times, and in Tiger the difference in those times was on average eight (8) seconds. After upgrading to Leopard, it takes about a second.If you don't think MacDust has cleaned, press Command-L to view the log, and it will show you the tasks it has performed.
