AppZapper updated to version 1.5

It's different PURELY in that it does a lookup of some kind for the app name in a number of different places looking for preference files, caches, etc.

If it's an install like the Cisco VPN client that installs stuff in weird places that aren't typically indexed by Spotlight or aren't in places apps usually install support files, they'll be missed entirely.

By no means is this app an uninstalling panacea for the Mac....it's mostly $13 for those among us that don't want old preferences hanging around.

Kevin may have a point. Exactly how is this any different from just dragging an App to the trash?

I would imagine a true Uninstaller would have to have been around to witness the install process.

i dont get why this type of application is garnering so much attention. do people really uninstall apps so much that you need quick access to it on your finder window?

Yeah but uninstall is not as pretty.

In windows there is an app just like that, its called 'uninstall '

Just remember to be careful when using it. The method they use for finding related files is pretty primitive so when I wanted to remove Q (the Qemu front end) it suggested all of my Quicktime and Quicksilver components were related. Luckily you can remove results before executing the Zap command.

Yeah, wondered the same thing. Just pick an app and drag up there. I had no idea you could do that. Sweet.

how did you get those icons in the finder???
