V 1.9.0.528 bugs reported here this week

This topic contains three lists.

The first one points to issues reported by more than one user.

The second points to issues reported by just one user.

The third points to potential issues. IMO, it is not clear from the reports if they are actual bugs in PowerTools, or due to something else. For example, user procedure or misbehavior by other software. Some items probably belong in the "Feature requests" forum.

These are indeed maybe more feature requests than bug reports, but we are hoping to get a large font support sooner or later included to the product.

These two are now reported as fixed, the fixed version will be out within a week. The long release time is because we are still waiting for some translations to be finished.

Thanks and maybe it's possible to fix then also those File Cleaner GUI issues?

This is a very strange bug, I have been working with it a lot but so far I haven't found out what's causing the odd effect. I'd love to get this bug fixed for the next version but it's not looking good, at least at the moment.

I am delighted to report that this program does not work. I have it set to backup when fixing anything. This does not work. It does not remove the items found nor does it back them up. It will remove them however if you choose to delete them. It does not however back them up. Thank you and have a magical day.

Now I am delighted to report that it is now working. I have to run it as an administer.

Those moving smileys are nerve-racking and disturbing reading and concentration.

No other forum friends are using them with good reason.

So please don't use them anymore.

Well, it's not a very very serious bug, but annoying nevertheless...
