File Cleaner 2007 - v1.7.0.383

When i try to remove the found files with file cleaner it sometimes leaves some files in the list because it can't delete them, this is normal behaviour.

Now after that i select them all, and chouse the Wipe feature it deSelects some items for some reason.

As far as i can tell it only happens with the Wipe feature.

Start Menu Fixer 2007 - v1.7.0.383

When i press start, PT starts eating CPU as if its nothing, and it doesn't stop doeing that.

The progress-bar isn't moving at all.

I had to kill PT in order use the system again.

I Tryed this also with a clean reboot and closed all programs.

Cheers tullik thought I might have missed something :)

I'm going a bit off topic here but one feature I'd love to see is "select all of a type"

For instance if I got a list of invalid registry entries and some of them were say for obsolete add/remove entries it'd be nice to be able to right click on one of those entries and have the option to select all the obsolete add/remove entries. Or have I missed something yet again.

Have to put it manually in the settings folder

I don't understand what you mean. When I install PT2007 RC3, its Settings directory contains HistoryCleaner.xdat, and the History/MRU Cleaner seems to work as intended.

What do you manually put in the Settings folder?

I change - after starting JTools - the folders where to store backup, settings and else. All data is copied over to the right place, but historycleaner.dat is not, and even when I copy it I need to create a folder named history to get the cleaner to work. (Thats an old work around)

Start Menu Fixer 2007 - v1.7.0.383 ...

On my system, after pressing Start my CPU usage goes to 51% and nothing else happens for about 15 seconds then the progress screen pops up and finishes pretty quickly after that. That 15 seconds with nothing is a bit disconcerting, but it's no big deal.

This happens every time, and I don't even have Excel. :

It is quite interesting to know what a good-looking interface can do. I was intimidated by the previous beta version which also presented a sticking problem with my computer. The RC3 version now pulls me to it. Well done! I installed it today and I have 15 days left.

Registry Cleaner, Custom Fix (Vista) -- two bugs

Custom Fix > Fix manually, instead of replacing the error entry with the provided fix, instead adds the fix as a new entry!

In the regedit thumbnail, the error entry is highlighted. The two entries right below that are provided fixes.

There are two because of a new (in Vista) twinning situation, which causes another bug in RC; these keys are twins:

* HKUS\S-1-5-21-2736614755-4186107725-1336004102-1010\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\shell\MuiCache\

* HKUS\S-1-5-21-2736614755-4186107725-1336004102-1010_Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\shell\MuiCache\

** There are likely to be more new twins in a Vista registry …

I provided a different "fix" for each of the twins … which resulted in two additions …

Backups look OK, except for occasional doubling which harms nothing.

Remove button works, but unselected twin lines stay on the list (although the entries are gone …)

I did not test the other custom fix change options -- they probably have the same bugs …

I haven't been able to do any testing recently, but picked up RC3 just now - The interface change is great, it really brings the program up to a 2007 standard (not that it wasn't before!).

File Cleaner, Temp dirs tab (XP Pro)

File Cleaner listed about 700 files in two system Temp diirectories.

I use the Search Tool to select the lines for C:\Windows\Temp, then clicked Remove

*** All selected lines but 1 left the list and the files were backed up and deleted, except for the 1

*** For that 1, PT said "failed to access" -- win explorer said "… being used by another …" (?)

*** A correct looking "All done" message with counts appeared in the message box

I then used Select > inverse to select the about 550 files listed from the User Temp directory, then clicked Remove

*** All selected lines left the list and the files were backed up and deleted (so far, so good)

*** However, there was no "All done" message for this second operation!

jv16 PowerTools Release Candidate 3

Overall, a great job!

* With the new graphics, the main window looks better on XP and Vista Desktops

* Yet the impression of PowerTool's unique character is still there

* I like the program icon better than yet another variation of the light bulb :

* Many good fixes …

* I am now using RC3 instead of PT2006 for most functions

I wonder what you will release next -- Release 1 or RC4 … :)

luish

awesome job on rc3.

the graphics are really cool and changed the looks of all the program (of course :) ) looks like something else.

i will start hunting for little bugs left.

I come back to the 1 Click Cleaner subject Tchapaiev posted here .

As far as I'm concerned I think he's right.

In other similar 3rd party tools indeed, there exists a possibility for the user - after the tool ended its analysis - to select from the presented list of found items only those items one wishes to clear (delete) actually by checking them (in the checkboxes next to them) and only then clicking the button "OK" or "Clean" or "Delete"...

Here's the way 1 Click Cleaner should operate...

1) The user chooses the options WHAT to clean, WHERE(IN) to clean, etc.

2) The tool analyses matching the chosen options;

3) When the analysis is ready, the tool presents a LIST with found items matching the chosen options;

4) The items in te list are provided with checkboxes;

5) The user selects the items he really wants to be cleaned (and only them) by ticking the checkboxes;

6) The user clicks only then "OK", or "Clean" or "Delete" ....

I think that's the whole process Tchapaiev had (has) in mind and I agree with him.

I think Jouni could easily modify the 1 Click Cleaner that way and the tool will be much more userfriendly :
