Inconsistent Custom Fix windows in Registry Cleaner

redseujac

I just noticed (PT 2008 v1.8.0.467) there's a difference (inconsistency?) in the Custom Fix window of the Registry Cleaner depending on the choosen Results Format: Structured list >< Raw list. Maybe it was there already in previous versions, I don't know, because it's the first time I have seen it rather accidentally while working at the Dutch translation of the Handbook.

Not only there are other text strings, but also in the Custom Fix window with choosen Raw list, it seems not possible to tick the options (radio buttons) "Automatically select the best possible solution" nor "Select the solution manually".

I even wonder what's the difference between "Select the solution manually" and "Fix manually" in Custom Fix/Raw List.

Differences:

Structured List.....................................................Raw List

"Error description"................................................."---"

"Data relating to error"............................................"Data location"

"Current registry key".............................................."Data now"

"Current file reference"............................................"Data after fix"

"Possible actions"..................................................."Action"

"Automatically fix the file reference"............................."Automatically select the best possible solution"

"Manually fix the file reference"..................................."Select the solution manually"

"---"..................................................................."Fix manually"

"Delete the erroneous data"........................................"Delete the item"

"Ignore the data and don't list it again in Registry Cleaner"...."Don't show this item again in the Registry Cleaner"

"Apply"................................................................"OK"

"<<Previous item"..................................................."<<"

">>Next item"........................................................">>"

"---"..................................................................."Run RegEdit"

All this has not been done on purpose, I suppose. What's the reason for those differences / inconsistency?

I think it would be better to modify this the way all things are the same for both Custom Fix windows without distinction whether the Structured List or the Raw list has been choosen as Results Format.

"Select the solution manually" can be a selectable list if FileCache.dat (or some other method) contains more than one likely fix candidates. With "Fix manually," you can type in your own correction which can be different than any of the ones shown in the Custom Fix window.

I agree that the tool should be consistent, unless there is a reason for the differences that makes sense. It might be better to not have a Custom Fix option with the structured list ...

I understand...

Why do you think so?

Where's the error description in the second window (raw list)? Is it not necessary perhaps?

Why can't I tick the radio buttons next to "Automatically select the best possible solution" in the second window?

Where's the button "Run RegEdit" in the first Window? Or is it not necessary there?

If you are going to do a Custom Fix, it is best to see as much information as possible. More information is visible or quickly accessible with the raw list.

It is not necessary because with the raw list, you see the error description when you select the line to be custom fixed.

If more than one solution was found with FileCache.dat (or some other method), those buttons would not be grayed out with the raw list. With the structured list, those features are missing.

I think it should be there if Custom Fix is part of the structured list.

FileCache.dat (or some other method)

I added the red text above in two prior posts.

In v.1.8.0.467, the raw list custom fix is finding possible solutions on multiple disks even though FileCache.dat is an empty file (a new bug with Quick system analysis). I really don't want it even to look at all those disks. : :
