App sweep not working?

I have App Sweep enabled in 3.3.2 (1215) but it does't seem to be sweeping apps that I drop into the trash. I dropped some apps into the trash last night on purpose, and left things alone for 30 minutes. No popup from Hazel. Move the apps back to /Applications and use MAcBooster 2 "Uninstall" and it picked up several support files for each application I wanted to uninstall.

Any idea what's happening and how I can fix it?

Were they the last copies of the app on your system? App Sweep only kicks in when you throw away the last one.

Wow, I forgot that I ha posted this. :( I thought I had it set to email me when I got a reply.

In any event, yes, they were the last (only) copies of the particular app package on the system. I just did it again today, and no App Sweep popped up.

Turn on debug logging as described in the sticky article near the top of this forum. Then throw away an app and look for any messages pertaining to it in the logs.
