jv16 PowerTools 2005 1.5.1 beta

jv16

The first beta version of the new jv16 PowerTools 2005 released.

The list of improvements can be found from: http://www.macecraft.com/news/87/

Some release notes:

-The partial match of the Duplicate Finder is still very slow, it will be optimized before the final release.

-This release still contains some known bugs reported to us but not yet fixed, most of them are already fixed but some are still there. They will be fixed before the final version is released.

Translators, do note: Please use a visual file difference tool to see what parts of the translation was changed. There are only a very few changes but finding them by hand is quite impossible. One freeware tool for showing the difference between the old and the new translation is ExamDiff which can be downloaded from http://www.prestosoft.com/download/ed16k_setup.zip

For you to compare, there are two old English translations available.

This is still a very much beta stage software. Use it only for testing!

Please write all your reports and comments to this thread.

Best reports are rewarded with free licenses. The free licenses will be sent out soon after the public release of the final version.

Tested it very quickly.

Seems/feels to run much smoother/quicker.

The new 'Software Manager' works fine :).

I only have seen a small buggy in the 'Registry Manager'.

The 'Add/Remove Menu' doesn't sort the list alhabeticly.

Thats all for now :).

More to come.

I think the new "Software Manager" (that lists only the the data like in the "Installed Software" window area of "RegSupreme Pro") shows to many "(Unknown)" entries for the "Author" column. Maybe there should be more information about the program or it's manufacturer here. Some type of useful data to track software in the registry. Like:

Author Software

AGV - AGV Free Edition

Apple - Apple Computers, Inc

Macecraft - RegSupreme Pro

Nero - Nero OEM

Winzip Winzip Computing

You know, make the "Author" with basics about the manufacturer and "Software" more detail about the specific program. The Author column could just duplicate the "Software" column in a basic way. How about some drop-down features of extra data like dates when folders and files were created/modified for the program and also the path to it in the "Programs" column with sub-catagories or drop-downs with extra information in a text based view (not the right-click "open a form" thing.) Kind of like Windows Explorer for my registry software.

It doesn't appear to be possible to sort by 'Error Severity' in the Registry Cleaner.

Some bugs persit in the new beta version ; here are some :

IN REGISTRY CLEANER : "Fix" does not work ; this in fact is new ; in the actual final version fixing worked more or less ; I understand that a fix is not always possible , and that one has to delete keys sometimes but usually you get a dialog box allowing both works to be done ; eventually there is a dialog box telling what happened: some were fixed and some deleted but in the case of this beta version none are working ; the button "fix" brings nothing ; also , the software manager is far from beeing able to uninstall all ill installed programs ; even if they are on the list ;

This is just a couple of remarks ;

Find and replace seems to work now ... it did not in the actual final release .

Regarding translations:

I am french and responsible for the actual french help file . Fine .

How to work with the beta version ????The indications are ununderstandable at least for me: let me explain:

In the former cases you just browse the NEW help file and translate ; here , working with WINDIFF PRO , one gets two files which are compared , that's fine , none of them beeing related to the BETA VERSION!!!!!!

What to do with these files ?

If I translate only the differences , using EDITPAD PRO for example , the work will be useless as it will give a help file interlacing english and french ; the french words beeing the replacement of CHANGES between the TWO versions , none of which refering to the beta one ; please explain in a detailed way what to do .

Best regards OLIVIER GEBUHRER

Oh yes, the Fix button of the Registry Cleaner isn't implemented yet. I forgot to say that in the release notes, sorry 'bout that.

Regarding fixing the registry , this is fine with me as long as I know ; but my other problems , especially regarding tanslations remain open ... May I hope to get a reply some day? Thanks OLIVIER GEBUHRER

To translate the new version, simply use any visual file compare utility to compare the English.lng of the beta version against:

http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/betas/pt1.5.1/English_1.5.0.278.lng

This comparison shows you how the english.lng has changed, then you can modify your existing translation (or a translation of someone else) to match the new English.lng. After this, send the full improved translation file.

OK ; I'll do my best ; I did not keep a copy of the french translation of previous versions ;but I will follow the instructions ; my surprise comes from the fact that none of the prposed english files correspond to the beta version!

You are right, this is also now fixed.

The same problem was also in the released version of jv16 PowerTools 2005. I don't understand why, when I look at the code I know it cannot work, but I'm also 100% sure I tried to sort with the error severity and it worked then.

Well, it's now fixed.

In the registry manager the 'Starting programs' doesn't shows the list when at first load.

If i then go to the 'Add/Remove menu' tab, and go back again, the entries of the 'Add/Remove menu' are listed in the 'Starting Programs' tab. Then after a few seconds its shows the actualy 'Starting Program' list.

In the Registry Manager

The Context Menu > 'Find more information online' gives a messagebox with the following lines:

Command line:

Loaded From:

The History/Cookie Manager both don't remove IE and Firefox entries. Everythings stays where it is no matter what i do.

Would be handy if the start-menu fixer also removes empty folders, these are left if all the shortcuts are removed.
