Remove every trace of a program by reinstalling it

Really? I've never seen any evidence that Cmd+i lists the files that are going to be installed, and it certainly doesn't for any of the .pkg files that I have lying around. What packages have you seen this work for and where in the info panel does it appear?

I assume this is another way to bring up the "File Install" list available from within the Package Installer.

In Installer.app, command-I (or File -> Show Files) brings up a tree-style of files that will be installed. It only works for .pkg or .mpkg installations.

However, that naturally can't show you files that the app creates the first time you start it.

Incidentally, my comment about this being a good hint was referring to the original hint, using fseventer - not the Cmd-I way.
