I recommend that the debug "Show entries" button be made a permanent feature of the tool, and called "Show items" since files should also be shown. The display would need to be made scrollable...

agreed!

When analyzing drive it fills in the first line on the drive report, but subsequent tabs give the error message that the drive hasn't been analyzed yet. Rerunning the analyzer does not correct this.

I have this same issue. The defragmenter will analyze the drive and it shows the percentage analyzed, but once it finishes; the Filesystem View, Fragmentation View and Fragmented Data tabs all say that the drive has not been analysed.

Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help track down this issue.

I could not get the Backup Tool to do this. Both the del key and the Remove context menu option gave me the warning.

Is there a third way to delete a backup while in the Backup Tool?

Windows XP Home - would not shutdown after using jv16 2007 beta 4. I had to shut the system down at the tower. I had this problem with the previous beta.

Backup tool - further checking

You do not get an answer if you try to delete a registry backup, done from the registry tool inside jv16 tool (that is not automated).

What do you mean by "registry tool"? Please give the correct English description of the tool.

I don't understand "registry tool inside jv16 tool" :

What's the "jv16 tool"?

Do you mean you ran the "Registry Cleaner" in jv16 PowerTools 2007, you let the Registry Cleaner "fix" or/and "Remove" registry entries, there was a backup made of the fixed/removed entries and when you are using afterwards the Backup Tool and you select a backup and click "delete" there's no warning?

If that's so, I must agree totally with Tullik: when I press the "del" key, when I click the "Remove" button or when I click "Remove" in the context menu, I receive each time the warning: "Are you sure you whish to remove this backup? YES/NO" :

Maybe I found what "drob" means ...

In "Registry Cleaner" after selecting all listed entries and when clicking "Remove" the entries are removed at once without previous/preceding warning concerning "backups", although my backup settings are 1) always create a backup ... and 2) generate the description and display for editing.

After modifying the backup settings in 1) Always ask me if I want a backup ... and 2) Always ask me for description, after selecting the listed entries and clicking "Remove", there's a pop-up asking me if I want a backup to be created, but when I click "yes", there's no further message/input box to let me choose the description.

So something is wrong with the preceding backup description message box => that box does not popup.

Yes, I had reported the new flaws in the backup dialog here and here.

The backups are created OK with a generated description -- the problem is just with the dialog during creation of the backup.

As far as I can tell, the backup removal dialog in the Backup Tool works as it should.

played with the defrag again today

Seems to stop analizing at about 52%, no change to normal CPU usage once it stops

Tryed defrag, stopped about 10% same CPU usage as above

I Have had some problems with shuting down PowerTools.

It appears that it had closed.

But when i want to turn-off my computer, PowerTools appears in the taskbar, and Windows doesn't shut-down.

I Need to force close PowerTools to have it shutdown.

This has happend on my desktop and laptop.

(sorry guys thats what happens when you write reports at 1am with a headache lol)

Backup tool - after running the registry cleaner in "automatic remove all" mode, then going into the backup tool and selecting the backup and or other backups in the registry tab, then deleting it, wither by remove or Del key, you get no warning before hand the backup just gets deleted. This does not happens if the backup was created using an automation script of the registry cleaner, in that case you do get a warning before deleting the backup. seems extremely odd their is a deference between the too, i would think a backup tool is independent of its backup source mechanism.

Is there a difference in the Backup Tool's "Type" column for the two situations? Perhaps PT remembers the not recommended "automatic remove all" choice, and treats the removal differently -- by design ... ?

drob

Here you go, first one is done using registry cleaner, second one is done via the automation script run from the desktop.

Another Backup Tool bug?

There is no longer an "Are you having problems?" dialog when you restore a backup.

Perhaps this is by design just for the betas ... ???

Often when my main computer is very busy downloading or uploading stuff and I can not do much of anything else, I will click open the latest jv16 2007 beta and fool with it. In this case, Beta 4.

With the CPU working at 100% capacity (or neary so), Beta 4 appeared on the taskbar and then disappeared. No window of jv16 appeared. Nor was there any residual presence of jv16 in the Windows Task Manager.

I clicked jv16 beta 4 to open a second time, with the same above results. Maybe it is time for me to reinstall Windows XP!

Best regards,
