Installer Observer is a program designed to aid a user in determining
exactly what an installer has done to his or her computer. Installer
Observer can discover all changes that an installer has made by essentially
comparing before and after states of the system. From this comparison,
Installer Observer locates all files that have been added, changed, or
removed, and presents them to the user in a neat, comprehensible format.
Important changes since version 2 include:
-Create "packages" from observations
-Scan any folder or group of folders on any disk, recursively or within the
first level only
-Exclude folders recursively or normally
-Controllable through AppleScript
-Immense speed increase when examining a folder "in greater depth."
-Observations window contains many more details about a file
-Multiple selections in Observations window for batch labeling, commenting,
moving, or deleting
-Option to view changes per folder in Observations window
-See an auto-scrolling graphical file path in Observations window or a
normal textual file path
-Layout changed in main window
-Observations window uses three column-view
-Individual PPC and 68k binaries (Note: Users of Mac OS 8.1 and lower who
have computers with PowerPC processors should download the 68k version of
Installer Observer.)
-Fixed an error that caused the examination to be halted and a message to be
displayed if a folder that had previously contained files was itself
replaced by a file.
-Scans can now be cancelled with command-"." in addition to examinations
-Compare two saved system states
