Cool, it lets you install wherever you want! (Nice for keeping that Applications stack clean and organized.)

How does this compare to Cocktail?

This does what CockTail does but more and it's free. This has become a must have, cannot live without app for my Mac. Onyx and 4GB of RAM on my new MacBook, what a great marriage. (^__^)

Note that this release is 10.5–only. It would've been a good idea for the devs to number it as an x.0 release. The MacUpdate page has links to versions for earlier OS X versions.

Good that it's free. Older versions (and probably this one; anyone know if I'm wrong?) did nothing more that expose 'defaults write' options.

Thank the lord; I have been waiting for this since my leopard began to slow down, not having the guts to try the beta

I think this corrupted my user account, and I didn't change anything. This was the last app I installed. I placed my system to sleep that night after finishing some development work in Flash. then when I returned to the room I noticed the crash screen, prompting me to restart.
I restart, my user account would not load and unknown became the only account. So i did an archive and install to recover anything from my system partition. Now i can't get the privileges on my other partition to behave properly. I have to set Everyone to read and write to have things work normal. Adding my acout or Admin doesn't even make a difference.
