Hi, I'm finding that the App Sweep window often doesn't steal focus or it somehow remains hidden under other windows, and I don't know it's there. It's only when I restart my computer that it appears, as apps that were in front of it quit. It's frustrating to see it briefly and not to be able to restore it after restart. Is there any way to re-run App Sweep so that recently uninstalled apps can be cleaned up? Thanks, fort

Checking the code, the AppSweep window is brought up in a way where it should take over. What app are you running when this happens?

I'm not sure it's due to a specific app I'm using, as it happens almost always. That is, I rarely see the App Sweep window but I often see it when I'm restarting my machine, because it's been hiding behind other apps.

Would you be ok with the AppSweep window being on the top of other windows at all times?

The ideal for me would be that it would remain on top until I either dismissed it or deleted the app remains. Alternative solutions could be that the Hazel menu bar icon changes in some way to indicate that there's a pending AppSweep, or that AppSweep could be run on demand, manually.

Just to be clear, you are ok with it being on top of other apps with on way to have it go under the other windows until you dismiss it?

Putting some sort of status in the menubar is an interesting idea. Will need to think about it.

For me, that would be preferable to the current situation, where I often don't know it's there and it then gets lost when I restart.

Yes, that might be the least intrusive solution.
