Description

This pull request introduces a new script to install AppCleaner, a popular utility for thoroughly uninstalling applications on macOS.

A new "Utilities" category has been added to the Applications Setup tab in the GUI to house this and future utility scripts. The appcleaner-setup.sh script handles the installation via Homebrew, checks if it's already installed, and provides user-friendly output, consistent with other scripts in the project.

Testing

  • Manually executed the appcleaner-setup.sh script to confirm successful installation of AppCleaner.
  • Verified that the script correctly identifies when AppCleaner is already installed.
  • Launched the MacUtil GUI (run-gui.sh) to ensure the new "Utilities" tab and the "AppCleaner" entry appear and function correctly.

Impact

  • Adds one new script (appcleaner-setup.sh) and creates a new utilities directory.
  • Modifies scripts/applications-setup/tab_data.toml to include the new category and application.
  • The change is minimal and has no impact on existing functionality. It only adds a new, optional installation script.
