Once again, as reported for jv16 2007 version 1.7.0.416 & 1.7.0.420, the Registry Cleaner will not "remember" items marked as "Never show again". This problem is still occurring on version 1.7.0.422.


The workaround suggested by tullik still works well:


Add item(s) to be ignored to the Registry Cleaner Ignore words tab.


Thanks

Could you please provide step-by-step instructions how to reproduce the problem?

Just checkmark the registry item, right click and select "Never Show Again" from the drop down menu. The item disappears from the window like it has been successfully entered in the ignore list. However, it shows back up on the very next registry cleaning.


Have not been able to make "Never Show Again" work for many rev levels back...on Vista Business or XP-SP2.

Sorry, we encountered an error while displaying this content. If you're a user, please try again later. If you're an administrator, take a look in your Flarum log files for more information.

This description of the bug (three actually) in v 1.7.0.420 also applies to v 1.7.0.422: http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=12166#12166


I just tested it on Vista BE, and will try on XP Pro in a few minutes.

I am using the Raw List format of the Registry Cleaner.



It fails if I either:

1. Run the Registry Cleaner, then try the Never Show Again, and then rerun the Registry Cleaner, or

2. I close the program between the runs.



After I have run the scan and clicked Never Show Again, I do not have a RegSuperIgnoreList.dat! However I do have a SuperRegIgnoreList.dat whose contents are:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BLW32\LOCALE_LIB1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BLW32\LOCALE_LIB2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BLW32\LOCALE_LIB3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BLW32\LOCALE_LIB4

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BLW32\LOCALE_LIB5


These are the indeed the correct items that I wish to always ignore. By the way, I did try renaming SuperRegIgnoreList.dat to RegSuperIgnoreList.dat, but no luck.


I am running on WinXP Professional SP2 with all updates/KBs installed.


If you would like me to try any additional testing, just ask!


Thanks

Could you try the same thing with the Structured list format? Also, do you always try to hide (i.e. use the Never Show Again) the same items? If you do, could you try to hide something else?


You can later always make the items show again by deleting (or modifying) the SuperRegIgnoreList.dat file.

Bugs A, B, and C occur consistently if you only use the Raw list.


If you first do the "Never show" action using the Structured list, the bugs do not occur, and, in a later PT session, the "Never show" list is processed correctly by the "Raw list."


However, additional "Never show" items chosen in that "Raw list" session are lost when you close the main window (that's Bug C).

Just ran a multitude of scenarios ...


I can confirm that, as usual, tullik has described the problems clearly and succinctly!


Additionally, as an FYI, I ran on WinXP Professional SP3 with exact same results. I do not believe you will experience any surprises with the release of XP SP3.

Alright, I have now located the bug and fixed it. If the next version still has the same bug I'll retire :


Thank you all for the feedback!
