This is a great tool. I can't comment on Redmondpie.com. However, I sent a tweet about the nick to them with the link. I hope they would correct it soon. They should be really careful with these things to credit great developers like you correctly.

This tool deserves such publicity. It's a very important and time saving tool for everyone. Moreover, fixing this troublesome issue which occurs often with users. You had it coming after doing such a great work!
EDIT: They have updated with correct name now. I e-mailed about it hour ago to them.

Amazing
Thanks for all your support!
interesting tool, a must have for us sense users =D
the answer to my question is most likely 'no', but i want to make sure:
if i record or backup these widgets on my sense rom, then move to a aosp, will the restore feature install the widgets on the rom? or does it merely backup the data of the widgets?

Well the answer is 'no'
Sorry mate, Widget Scanner will trigger a re-scan of htc widgets that's all.
With trigger a re-scan I mean, it will change a value in a file and when your reboot your phone after applying the zip HTC launcher will search for HTC Widgets again.
Normally this is done only once and that's after a fresh install of a Sense ROM.
Before we had Widget Scanner then only way to re-scan the wdigets was to clear HTC Sense data, which also will restore the home screen to default and you will have to set it up all over again.
Regarding backup of home screen you will not be able to restore Sense launcher home screen settings on lets say Nova launcher etc.
It's like to restore wordfude settings to XDA app or something.
Home Screen Saver
What it is?
Recently me and others have been suffering from a weird bug. After a normal reboot some of my widgets gets removed from the homescreen!
So after each reboot I have to set up my homescreen again...
I did some research and found out that it only happened to 3rd party widgets. (asec apps)
And since I'm a script freak I started to build my "workaround solution".
After you have flashed "HomeScreenSaver", a script will be executed at reboot. This script will backup your entire homescreen.
Then when your phone reboots again, another script will be executed and restore your homescreen.
With other words, no more missing widgets after reboot!
When to use it?
- If your 3rd party widgets keeps falling off the homescreen after a normal reboot or shutdown

30Widget Scanner
What it is?
Most of you have heard about ROM Cleaner, it's been released for 10 different devices most of them are HTC devices.
The biggest problem we have been facing with HTC devices is when we remove system apps from the device it will in most cases result in a incomplete widget list and the only way to bring them back is to clear HTC Sense data.
By doing so we are forcing HTC Sense to reload our widgets.
Of course this method works perfectly but since your home screen will be restored to default it's a real pain to recreate all your shortcuts and widgets on the home screen.
With "Widget Scanner" we are now able to force HTC Sense to reload the widgets without clearing anything at all!
When to use it?
- If you are missing widgets, even if you didn't remove them.
- If you have been flashing a mod that resulted in missing widgets.
- If you have been removing HTC Sense apps after the initial boot process.
- If your widgets for a "unknown" reason just disappeared.
- If you have been restoring/installing HTC widgets.
How to use it?
- Download "Widget Scanner" and copy the zip to your sdcard.
- Reboot into recovery and flash it just like a ROM.
- Follow the instructions in the AROMA Installer.
- When done, Reboot.
