Transfer only selected apps with Migration Assistant

[qtrim]

I’m setting up a new Mac. I’d like to transfer about half the apps from my old Mac. Is there a way to select which apps I want to transfer? Or should I just transfer them all and then delete the ones I no longer need?

I don't believe you can use Migration Assistant to "select" which apps to move, and which to leave behind -- it's "all or nothing".

Easiest way would be (as you said) to transfer them all and then delete what's not needed.
After doing this, you might want to also look in the "Application Support" folder (in your home library folder) and "root out" any additional files that may have been migrated.

If you REALLY want to "do it cleanly", perhaps the best way is to re-install all the 3rd-party apps you'll be using...
