Always Amiss on One Thing or Another - Pascal Lessard

You are so right, this would never happen to paid software like, say, Intuit's QuickBooks.

Always Amiss on One Thing or Another - jjjazzz--2008

It's like a Democratic National Debate in here! And just as civilized!
When you use new software, ANY software, there are risks.
Freeware is riskier, but there are exceptions (Adobe, anyone?) and I know that the developer of Onyx is seriously committed to his app. He goofed. He's fixing it. It's free. Lighten up. And mainly: run ANY software at your own risk - that's why that EULA is in the front there. If you have any doubts, just click "disagree" and trash the app. Particularly if you're running a NEW OS like Leopard. Many may think that Leopard is just Tiger with a different skin. Not. There are major path differences and many minor changes that make the development of an app like this extremely difficult.
My constructive advice to Titanium Software would be: don't try to be all things to all users. Do a few things well, and safely. The app has grown is size to where now it weighs as much as Firefox. Slim it down, get rid of the dangerous features, and focus on the Unix scripts that matter most. Sometimes, cleaning out all the cache files in Leopard is NOT the best thing to do. I found this out the hard way.
Word up!
