I'm quite pleased with Little Snitch watching my back.

But one chronic annoyance is Little Snitch's behavior when I upgrade to a new version of an application. I typically put each application and its associated files into a folder whose name includes the version number. So each upgrade breaks the path that Little Snitch is apparently recording. The result is ...

1.  I have to retrain Little Snitch with each new release.

2. I have an increasing number of dead, red "Application does not exist at this path" rules. No only that, I can delete only one at a time, and I have to confirm each delete. OmniWeb is a worst case example. Because I install every alpha and beta release, I now have 49 obsolete rules to delete ... one at a time.

The Mac OS X Keychain and QuicKeys provide good models for graceful handling of application upgrades, either automatically handing off application assignments to a new version or providing a simple means to manually rebind to the new version.

Since this main wish may be a while in coming, I'd be happy for the time being if Little Snitch supported multiple-select and delete.
