tullik wroteThere are keys which contain scores, even hundreds, of named entries.
CCleaner's "Open in RegEdit" window shows the exact entry with the name highlighted.
This usability feature eliminates considerable user scrolling to find the entry under such a key.
Can the PT2010 "Open in RegEdit" be made to do this?
I have seen this before as well. Sounds like some trick to send virtual key strokes or window messages directly to RegEdit. While it's a bit MacGyver 'n' duct tape kind of solution, it could be rather handy. I'll see what I can do.
In the mean time, I have been working to get the last two or three old list controls out of the PowerTools. One of tools still using the old list control was the Find and Replace (inside files). As requested, the tool is also being updated to do only the selected replace actions like all the other tools.
Following bug fixes done:
41. Initial Setup sometimes run twice.
42. When Initial Setup starts, there is a small delay between the progress panel being shown and the background turning to gray.
43. With "Highlight selected items" checked (not checked by default), the Top Panels of the tools did not update their contents correctly.
And following improvements done (since last private Test Version):
21. Improved the way the Duplicate File Finder reports its progress to the GUI. Before the tool could look like it was frozen while in fact was still wroking.
22. The protective form layer now also protects agains using any of the main menu items.
23. Added safety checks to Program Maintenance Tool to make sure nothing bad happens even if user had installed PowerTools under C:\Windows\ and would then use Program Maintenance Tool to clear all the Caches.
24. Improved the GUI of the Registry Find & Replace to match the GUI of the other tools.
25. Added support for links to the Bottom Text feature of the Main Window's GUI.
26. Improved the performance of the Clean and Fix my computer.
27. Added new graphics to Check For Updates feature.
28. Added support for the Filter Panel (wohoo!!). The Filter Panel is really cool and simple to use: when you see any list in PowerTools, such as the results of the Registry Cleaner run, press down Ctrl + Alt + F and the Filter Panel will show up. It allows you to easily filter out lines you don't wish to see.
There are still some issues with the Filter Panel, after they are sorted out, I think it should be the time for the next private Test Version.
