BIG MAC XXL  Feature request: A "Find duplicate files" utility.

Also: Try to make the dark grey of the application window lighter. One can barely read the text!

Otherwise a very nice toolbox.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  There are plenty of other utilities out there for finding duplicate files. That would just seem like a lot of extra coding for the developer.

HOSHI08  Great application! It was originally given to me by the tech coordinator at my high school several years ago, and I've been using it since on all of my Macs. Easy to use, and easy to show others how to use. I figured out how to do everything just by playing around with it a bit. I showed my mother how to use it, and even she gets how everything works.

It usually takes a little while for the verification processes to be completed, but I've found that they are necessary. I had a problem with my new laptop that I didn't even know was there until I decided to run OnyX on it. After OnyX told me there was a problem, I was able to call Apple and get the problem taken care of quickly, before I lost any information.

Overall, a very useful application :)

JAZZICA  Excellent app. I'm a fan of this app because it's fast, clear, the interface is pleasing, the functions can be used in groups or as an entire suite of commands, as in the simpler Yasu.

No, I am not a friend of the developers, never met them, don't know them. I just love this clean-up app. Darn right, it IS fast. I can't find a bug. I've looked. Learn what each function does and keep your system files in the right places (don't install Onyx in the System Folder, duh) and don't get overly enthusiastic by checking every box. Know what they do by reading the warning and help files. This is a five-star app. So strange that it's still free. Thanks to Titanium.

JAZZICA  I'd say that this is the finest app of its kind, and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have their Safari browser stuck in their System Library. In other words, if you play by Apple's rules and keep the file paths pretty much where they belong, this beautifully-designed wrapper for command-line tasks is the number one user-friendly clean-up tool for Snow Leopard. The only time I've had an error or a problem was when I was asleep at the switch. By now, Titanium has made it pretty hard to goof up.

This is a golden app. It's been through so many iterations and changes that the developer must have dreams of it's interface. The creativity used in the development of the present interface is in itself laudable.

There's so much here, all laid out in easy and safe form for the new user through the advanced veteran. There's great documentation and even warning dialogues. It's a killer app. In the pipe, 5 by 5.
