File Cleaner: possible bug

vampiric_crow

Hi,

Why the File Cleaner said that the files under the O:/Temp are to be removed?

What is the string that identify these files for being removed?

~~Regards~~

I Think you have located your eMule/eDonkey temp-files in the Windows Temp folder.

What PT2k5 does is clearing the temp folder, becouse normaly everything in it is trash.

you can add '.part' to the ignore words list so those files arnt being deleted.

But the safest way is to change the settings of ur eMule/eDonkey client so that it doesn't point to the Windows Temp folder. That way PT2k5 or any other program will never toucht those files.

Please tell me how did you configure the File Cleaner or did you used the default configuration?

There's an option under the second tab ("More") called "List all files from system Temp directories", I believe you had this option enabled. That would explain why those files were listed.

You can see the string which is used to identify unneeded files right from the product, it's under the "Unneeded files" box in the first tab of the File Cleaner.

With the current versions the settings are the following.

Safe mode: *.tmp; *.temp; *.gid; *.chk; *.~*;

Medium: Safe mode + *.old; *.fts; *.ftg; *.$$$; *.---; ~*.*; *.??$; *.___; *.~mp; *._mp; *.dmp; *.prv; CHKLIST.MS; *.$db; *.??~; *.db$; chklist.*; mscreate.dir;

Aggressive: Medium + *.wbk; *log.txt; *.err; *.log; *.sik; *.bak; *.ilk; *.aps; *.ncb; *.pch; *.?$?; *.?~?; *.^; *._dd; *._detmp; 0*.nch;

You are right, that folder is for incompleted files of eMule, but I created that folder and that folder isn't default computer tempo folder...

So these files should be on the list.

I tested with other programs and didn't have this problem...

The jv16 PowerTools 2005 will treat root folders with certain names (like "C:\Temp" or "D:\temp" for example) as "System Temp directories" even if they haven't been registered as such.

If you don't wish these files to be listed, simply disable the "List all files from system Temp directories" option from the File Cleaner.
