fseventer [fernLightning]

fseventer [fernLightning]

From the author:

Description

- Observes filesystem changes using the same underlying API as Spotlight
- Provides a graphical representation of the file activity
- Example use could be to determine what files are changed via software installation, preferences, etc
- Requires admin access & will only work on Mac OS X 10.4+ i.e. “Tiger”, “Leopard”, or “Snow Leopard”

It's a neat troubleshooting/analysis tool for the Mac. I imagine it can be used in many ways to find out what's messed in your system, when and how it happened.

Thanks dev
