Here are the results of bug fixing of the Beta3 done since the last report. Notice that the Reported by field means the user who was the first to report the problem. If there are errors in these reports, please let me know since these are used when it is decided which users qualify for the free personal license.

Beta3 Bug Fixing Report 2

Issues found by beta testers

Issue: Tools > Add shortcut to Desktop feature lacks the option to add a shortcut of jv16 PowerTools itself to the desktop.

Reported by: half

Status: Fixed in Beta4 and later.

Issue: The Disk Defragmenter is not working properly

Reported by: Many

Status: One critical bug found and fixed from the Disk Defragmenter. The bug caused the tool to defrag very slowly.

Issue: Apparently the History.xdat file contains code that picks up the Windows Run MRU items twice. The History Cleaner window shows a count of 6, while Registry Finder only finds 3 (entries are a, b, and MRUList).

Reported by: tullik

Status: Most likely the items were found using both the pre-defined applications lists as well as the heuristic scanner, that's why the data is being shown twice. The Beta4 (and later) contains a duplicate check which eliminates this problem.

Issue: Backups of History/MRU Cleaner should show in both Files and Registry entries category of the Backup Tool since the backup can contain both files and registry entries.

Reported by: tullik

Status: Fixed in Beta4 and later.

Issue: If the History/MRU Cleaner is once used (i.e. something is removed) the Clear button remains disabled and cannot be used before restarting entire program.

Reported by: tullik

Status: Fixed in Beta4 and later.

Issues found in in-house testing

Issue: Many automation features were not fully functional, including the Automation Tool and the run in fully automatic mode settings of Registry Cleaner and File Cleaner

Status: Fixed in Beta4 and later.

Issue: Numerous features don't respect the option to only show the messages in Message Windows and use normal Windows dialogs instead.

Status: Fixed in Beta4 and later.

Issue: Program fails to remove registry entires if it doesn't have full registry access rights.

Status: Starting from Beta4 the program checks upon each start that it can fully read and modify the registry and warns the user if registry access fails.

FYI: The Beta4 will be released on Sunday. The release contains mainly bug fixes, and improved compatibility with Windows Vista.

When will Disk Defragmenter be improved?

The Beta4 contains many improvements to the Disk Defragmenter as well. It won't be perfect, but that's why it's still called a beta.

Okay jv16, we're awaiting the release of beta4 impatiently :

Just a small issue. Up until now, the registry cleaner always asked for us to provide a name of a backup file. Beta 4 asks whether you want to back up, but no longer asks me to provide a file name. Intended?

Also, when removing Beta 3, the actual beta 3 directory is not removed. Do you keep due to the backup history in case we need to restore?

Comments on jv16 Version 2007 Beta

1. The jv16PT debuglog.txt Notepad file provided on the desktop each time I run the program is bothersome. Can’t the file be stored elsewhere? The information provided in the debuglog file may not very be very clear to many average users. Are there options to preventing this file from being created each time jv16 is opened?

2. I much prefer the Registry Cleaner nomenclature used in jv16 1.4.1. The Red and Green color designations made it very clear which entries could be safely removed or cleaned. Labeling the entries medium, high and lowest could lead to confusion on the user removing the entries. I was unsure whether to clean the entries or not. I did use and like the backup process when cleaning the entries.

3. I really like the graphical user interface used on jv16 1.4.1. One main GUI is nice and simple for the user embrace. All of the many icons representing individual program functions seem more complicated.

4. The disk defragmenter performed the analysis rather quickly and provides the percent fragmentation rather quickly. However, users might like some advice from the software instructing them if the defragmenter should be run. Overall, the disk defragmenter is a little slow. I also don’t find the information or Note at the bottom of the window very helpful.

5. Some of the individual icons in jv16 2007 aren’t very intuitive and the user might wonder what the function of the program does. When some of the icons are clicked and open the program it isn’t always easy to predict the function of the software.

6. The Registry Monitor and Full snapshot worked fine. The snapshot was completed quickly, but I did not find the program very intuitive and it isn’t easily used. Once the snapshot is taken the user seems like they can compare the Registry snapshot with the existing Registry.

7. The History/MRU Cleaner worked quickly and without issue. The backup created flawlessly and without issue.

Overall, I found the new jv16 Power Tools 2007 to be a very powerful and useful program. I would like the GUI to be a little more intuitive, but realize that the program can be learned in a short time once it is used. Thanks for the opportunity for me to test the program and provide my comments.
