About

This is version 0.3 of TempCleaner. It now sports Balloon Help in the finder and a better Icon. Following is a suggested blurb: Before MacOS 9, the Temporary Items Folder was a visible folder in the System Folder and users could just throw accumulated cruft in the Trash. With OS 9, Apple hid the Temporary Items folder so well that not even Sherlock can find it. This is further explained in Article #25134 from Apple's Technical Information Library. The solution - Apple says they will fix the problem and I'm sure they will. Until then, they recommend an AppleScript that doesn't actually work. TempCleaner does work by searching the Temporary Items Folder at startup and, if there is anything there, moving it to a 'From Temporary Items' folder in the Trash. Actually, it won't move more than 20 at a time but I wanted it to be fast enough that you wouldn't notice it.
