I still use this regularly on Sierra as of April 2017 and it works great. I don't want to spend valuable time fiddling with Apple scripts, so this is perfect. Does the job! Thanks for this.

I have a very bad habit of leaving Folders and Files scattered about on my Desktop for the various projects i am working on. And in no time the desktop is a mess plus i notice that the startup time seems to take longer when there are more files/folders on the desktop. DesktopTidy can move files and folders off the desktop to one folder i specify. Now i have a clean desktop every day but the files are never lost. I can get them back anytime and also decide which to keep and which to trashed. I also complement the developer for his prompt immediate attention to any problems or difficulties i had with his programme. I certainly highly recommend this programme.

Thanks to MacUpdate i realized version 2.5.1 was available. Going to the apple menu drop down menu for previous installed version (2.5.0) you realize that you can't really tell what version is installed and so updating is huge hassle because for some reason it does not self check. Perhaps the developer can fix that soooon!
