More information on these issues:

1.With focus in the main window, all the function keys shown in the Help menu are not active. They instead bring up items from the Tools menu.

- a. For some icons, the window brought up has the Main window Tools menu function keys active.
  
  b. For other icons, the window brought up has the Main window Help menu function keys active.

File Finder > More Functions > Explore

- Select a file in File Finder

- Click on More Functions

- Choose "Explore"

- Result: nothing happens - the function doesn't work

Same result when you right click the selected file, choose "More functions" and then "Explore".

It does work when you highlight/select a file, then click directly on "Explore" in the context menu (without choosing the More Functions).

This should be fixed with the next beta version.

... Same problem as before, I cannot get enough information from this Debug Log, I'm afraid.

But I have improved the debug system to give more information about this kind of case, so if the problem still exists in the next beta and you'll send me a new Debug Log, I should be able to find the problem.

In Beta 4, because of the large number of Beta 3 hang, violation, and crash incidents, I will not initially attempt to reproduce the ones listed below.

Instead, I will proceed with other testing, capturing debug logs for hangs, violations, and crashes only if they occur incidental to that testing.

I hope these nuisances will be gone in the release after Beta 4!

47. Clean and fix my computer: List control-->Remove from list for the MRU and history data group causes a PowerTools hang every time. I'll post a debug log separately. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7

88. Registry Monitor: can hang all PowerTools windows if used several times in the same session. (..) 678 x64 w7

89. File Tool Encryption: if you Cancel before it finishes, it hangs all of PowerTools. (..) 678 x64 w7

91. File Recovery: can get an access violation. If the scan is aborted, the violation can occur several minutes later. (..) 678 x64 w7

95. Clean & fix my computer: access violation while creating a program backup using context menu. (..) 678 x64 w7

96. Clean & fix my computer: access violation when run again in the same session. (..) 678 x64 w7

98. File Find & Replace: gets an access violation if Close is clicked before the replace action finishes. (..) 678 x64 w7

102. Directory Finder: can sometimes get an access violation when run more than once in the same session. (..) 678 x64 w7

103. File Cleaner: can sometimes get an access violation. (..) 678 x64 w7

106. File Finder: can get an access violation, or hang, if lines are selected, Close is clicked, and the tool is just started again. (..) 678 x64 w7

118. Registry Monitor: compare of an HKCU only snapshot crashes sometimes. Usually it just hangs. (..) 678 x64 w7

PT2010 Beta 4 (6yy) #1 Tested on x64 Windows 7 HP desktop (or on x86 Vista BE pre-SP1 desktop where indicated)

Legend

Rightmost code:

nnn = item pertains to version nnn

N/A = fix is presently not confirmable on my systems (either conditions triggering the bug do not exist or other bugs prevent specific tests)

(??) = fix may be a partial success

(???) = fix is not a success

??? = issue description is ambiguous

|| = a separator

OTO = one time only incident

Fixed, Better, Yes, No, OK, x86, x64, Vista = self-explanatory (Fixed may mean “Confirmed” depending on the context)

W7 = Windows 7 (no W7 = Vista or both Vista and Windows 7)

Canceled or “Not a bug” = Not a bug

(.) = item is not yet tested

Observations (next Beta):

Beta 4 initial state (preliminary):

New Beta 3 issues in tullik's testing log: 51 (tag="(…)")

New Beta 4 fixes (60) and improvements (25) in developer's change log: 85 (tag="(..)")

Prior issues confirmed as still present in Beta 3: 28 (tag="|..|")

Prior issues not tested or confirmed in Beta 3, deferred to Beta 4 or later: 27 (tag="(.)")

Total: 191

Observations (prior Betas):

Beta 3 So far: || 678 #1 In the lists below, fixes confirmed with version 678 have |.| tags (62 items). Prior issues still present in version 678 have |..| tags (28 items). Not all of these have been reported as fixed yet by the developer. Some may be fixes that did not work. Newly noticed bugs in version 678 have |...| tags (51 items). Tests pending (in Beta 4 or later): 27 items with (.) tags. Beta 2 The Main window becomes readable with x64 Windows 7 if the theme used is the Windows Classic theme. || 660 #1 Per the developer, Beta 2 (660) is pretty much unusable on x64 Windows 7. Switched to x86 Vista. In the lists below, several fixes are confirmed with version 660 using x86 Vista. Confirmed fixes are tagged with |.|. Failed version 660 fixes, and some retested but not yet fixed items, are tagged with |..|. Beta 1 When Reference mode is used in the Registry Cleaner, it can show possible "false positives" not shown with Normal mode. || 644 #6 In Beta 1 (using normal scanning mode and a very aggressive scan), there are no flagrant Registry Cleaner "false positives" on my x86 or x64 Vista desktops. There are several issues with the handling of the Wow6432Nodes on the x64 system. I'll probably include my XP Pro and Windows 7 notebooks in a later beta (they are x86 Oses). || 644 #5 Fifty-three issues are enough for Beta 1. What is the Beta 2 ETA? Registry scans are much faster compared to PT2009 1.9.0.606. For example: || 644 #4 Registry Cleaner (aggressive), 66 versus 139 seconds Registry Cleaner (normal), 40 versus 134 seconds Registry Finder (all scan options), 85 versus 205 seconds Registry Finder (all scan options+approximate), 85 versus N/A seconds Aggressive 606 found 114 items versus 8 for 644, probably due to a conservative approach with a new engine. There are significantly fewer hangs and crashes compared to the “TestVers” – good job! || 644 #2

Developer's Change Log:

Bugs Fixed (since Beta 3): 1. The Registry Cleaner can list False Positives relating to software Intel Matrix Storage Manager. (..) 6yy x64 w7 2. Registry Finder: when you abort the tool, it continues to run on in the background (high CPU usage). (..) 6yy x64 w7 3. Live support tool: the Abort button stays red (the other two buttons do turn to green after click). (..) 6yy x64 w7 4. Debug tool: it lists three buttons for the web browser tool, but that tool is not available in Beta 3. (..) 6yy x64 w7 5.

(..) 6yy x64 w7 17. Clicking the same tab of the Backup Tool always causes the list to regenerate, even if there is no need. (..) 6yy x64 w7 18. The new tool tips are not in use in the list components, except for the columns. (..) 6yy x64 w7 19. If you click Settings from the Tools menu the Backups tool opens and vice versa.

Clicking Abort when the Anti-Malware is starting causes an Internal Error message to be shown. (..) 6yy x64 w7 25.

If you abort the Registry Information tool, you can't access any of its features. (Fix: abort now closes the window) (..) 6yy x64 w7 27. The number of selected items can get mixed up in different tools. For example, a tool could show an error message of "Please select at least one item" even if there is one item selected (..) 6yy x64 w7 28. Automation Tool's Top Panel is visible even if the list is empty. The Top Panels should not be shown with an empty list. (..) 6yy x64 w7 29. The last check box ("Run Start Menu Tool") is not correctly positioned in the Automation Tool's Create new automated task feature. (..) 6yy x64 w7 30. With some tools the "Please wait..." panel is shown too high, for example with the Custom Uninstall Software tool. (..) 6yy x64 w7 31. Some tools show "Nothing found" text in the list while the tool is still running; of course nothing is found yet as the operation is still in progress. (..) 6yy x64 w7 32. If you add a Search Word to the Duplicate File Finder, the blue "i" icon shows up over the tab icon only after you change the tab. The "i" icon should show up at once. (..) 6yy x64 w7 33.

Startup Manager's "Create new automatically starting program" feature starts with the OK button disabled. (All tools should start with all the OK/Start buttons enabled and if the user clicks the button before all the required input has been given an error message should be shown). (..) 6yy x64 w7 38. Registry Cleaner's Search Words and Ignore Words features do not update the "i" icon correctly (see item 32). (..) 6yy x64 w7 39.

(..) 6yy x64 w7 47. It's not possible to move (by dragging) any blocks. (..) 6yy x64 w7 48. Changing the program's font within the translation file doesn't always work properly. (..) 6yy x64 w7 49. Using the mouse wheel or the scroll area of a laptop, it is possible to make the Main Window get stuck in a very long scrolling loop where the category selector on left keeps moving rapidly. (..) 6yy x64 w7 50. Removing a disabled item in Startup Manager seems to work (the item is removed from the list) but the item is not removed, it comes back after you open the tool again.

Sometimes when opening a tool it opens but shows an Access Violation error message. This can also happen when closing a tool. (..) 6yy x64 w7 56. File Cleaner and "Clean and fix my computer" can list important system fonts as "safe to remove". (..) 6yy x64 w7 57. File Cleaner and "Clean and fix my computer" can list "lock" files currently in use for example by Open Office or Microsoft Office. (..) 6yy x64 w7 58.

The Registry Cleaner shows Internal Errors relating to Safety Net component when trying to remove or fix found errors. || (.) 2. The Main Window always says "Registered to Macecraft Inc." || Fixed 678 x64 w7 3. The Messaging component failed to initialize under 64 bit Windows and that made all the tools of the program to fail as well. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 4. When clearing a long list the program can freeze.

Unit Testing tool shows an error for the "TestDupeFinder". This is a false positive and is now fixed, there was no problems in the Duplicate File Analyzer module (used by the Duplicate File Finder and tested here by the Unit Tester). || Fixed 678 x64 w7 12. Unit Testing tool shows an error for the "TestSettingsManager". This is a real error in the very critical Settings component. The problem causes wrong data being read from a setting file but only under certain circumstances. This bug is now fixed and thus the Unit Tester no longer should report it || Fixed 678 x64 w7 13. Starting the program with a command line parameter such as -RegistryCleaner or -FileTool works as in the correct tool shows up but it doesn't work, instead you'll see Access Violation error messages. || (.) 14. Installing the program to directory that contains a commend line parameter can affect the program. For example, installing the program to C:\Program Files\jv16-RegistryCleaner\ could cause the program always to open only the Registry Cleaner tool due to "-RegistryCleaner" part in the installation directory. || (.) 15. Service Manager's list shows up in random order. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 16. Service Manager only shows the Start option in the Right-Click menu, also for services that have already been started.

Many tool lists: hitting the refresh key (f5) brings up the filter panel filled with a single "t" character. || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 13. Sometimes when using the Filter Panel you can see the filtering in action, lines being hidden etc. || N/A 14. Sometimes when using the Filter Panel the list can just show a few lines, yet still there is a scroll bar visible. || N/A 15. An item fixed from the Known Issues list: Checking list items by clicking directly their checkboxes can cause unexpected results. || N/A 16. Program Maintenance Tool can start with the scroll bar automatically scrolled at a random position, it should always start in a way the first button is visible. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 17. When running Registry Monitor's "Create snapshot" it can sometimes run but produce no snapshot whatsoever. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 18. Registry Monitor doesn't always delete a corrupted or incomplete Registry Snapshot file. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 19. The SafeyNet can allow the user to delete registry keys and values critical to the system. || N/A 20. The Settings item in the Main Window's Tools menu does not work. || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 21. The Settings and Backups features are inconsistent in the Main Window, at one place "Settings" comes first, on another the "Backups". || N/A 22. After a tool window is shown, its status bar can remain empty and only updated after the list is clicked. || N/A 23. The Font Scan module of the Registry Cleaner can produce False Positives in a rare case the registry contains incorrectly formatted data. || N/A 24. The lists are sometimes in random order, that is, if the user hasn't sorted the list by clicking a column the lists do not always have a default sorting applied. || N/A 25. The lists do not remember the last used sort setting. || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 26. Uninstalling a software using Software Uninstaller's Custom Uninstall feature causes the Custom Uninstall to freeze until Software Manager has re-populated its screen. || (.) Other Improvements (since Beta 3): 1. Improved the safety of the Registry Cleaner. Nothing major this time, just bullet proofing some checks. (..) 6yy x64 w7 2. While File Tool is working the tool bar on top is disabled from now on. (..) 6yy x64 w7 3. Startup Manager's Top Panel is now hidden if there are no items on the list. This is the way all the Top Panels should work throughout the program. (..) 6yy x64 w7 4. The program now shows an error message if you attempt to do certain common operations such as Select or Search with an empty list. (..) 6yy x64 w7 5. The Security setting of the Settings window now reports to the user if a new password has been set, before there was no confirmation whatsoever. (..) 6yy x64 w7 6. Greatly improved the speed of many list operations, especially with long result lists and/or while running on a slow computer. (..) 6yy x64 w7 7. Added caching to the Live Support status check. This means the program doesn't have to check for the status of the Live Support every time you start the program, it can use previous data as long as the previous data is new enough. (..) 6yy x64 w7 8. Added a Status Bar to the Automation Tool. (..) 6yy x64 w7 9. Removed White List feature from the Anti-Malware, you can simply use the Ignore Words instead. (..) 6yy x64 w7 10. The Header File tab of the Custom Restore / Edit backup tool is no longer visible if the user uses the Simple GUI mode.

Updated the GUI of the Registry Info tool. (..) 6yy x64 w7 17. Minor updates to the GUI of the Settings window (..) 6yy x64 w7 18. Migrated the entire program to use a new tab component, the new component has better support for transparent icons and also fixes a few known issues of the old tab control (such as too much space before the first tab). (..) 6yy x64 w7 19. Added support for a new format translation files. The old format is still supported to allow all the translators to have time to update to the new format. The new format is needed because the old format was prone to hash collisions, in other words, wrong item from a tool window was translated even as the translation file was made correctly. (..) 6yy x64 w7 20. Removed the Registry Cleaner's Network access feature. This feature has been depricated by the Global Ignore List (to which we can send data over the Internet to protect users in a very unlikely event of a critical bug is found from the Registry Cleaner Engine.) (..) 6yy x64 w7 21. Further improved the safety of the Registry Cleaner and the Clean and fix my computer. Again, no actual bugs fixes, only adding more extra safety checks. (..) 6yy x64 w7 22. Greatly improved the GUI of the Mass File Renamer, also added two new tips for the tool to help new users. (..) 6yy x64 w7 23. Removed unused data from the translation file (English.lng) and added support for translating the new User Interface elements (..) 6yy x64 w7 24. Added confirmation messages to many tools, the confirmation is shown if user attempts to remove a lot of data at one time. (..) 6yy x64 w7 25. Improved the quantity and quality of debug information written to the Debug Log. (..) 6yy x64 w7 Other Improvements (since Beta 2): 1. The beta testing releases no longer create the "buy now" internet shortcut to the Desktop. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 2. Greatly improved the speed of adding data to the result lists. This can speed up operations that produce a large number of results. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 3. The Tools menu of the Main Window is working again (this wasn't implemented in the Beta2 due to the updated GUI). || Fixed 678 x64 w7 4. "Add shortcut to desktop..." feature of the Tools menu is again working. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 5. All the program's main features can be now accessed with a command line parameter || (.) 6. If the program has been started with a command line paramter and the Main Window has been opened, when the user closes the Main Window to close down the entire program, the tool called with the command line pops up and the program closes only after that window has been closed once again. Now the program will close after the Main Window is closed (if it's the last open window). || (.) 7. The Uninstaller now has an option to copy the user's license file to the desktop so it won't be removed or lost during uninstall. || (.) 8. Greatly improved the speed of clearing a result list. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 9. Custom Uninstall Software now automatically opens the Files tab if no Registry data is found. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 10. The Service Manager now uses more informative messages, such as " has been started." instead of just "Done!". || Fixed 678 x64 w7 11. The Preference Saving system is now enabled by default, also if the user has opted for the Simple GUI mode. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 Other Improvements (since Beta 1): 1. New Main Window GUI look and feel. || OK 2. Better button positioning in Quick Tutorial. || OK 3. Better looking Message Windows. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 4. Better looking Hint popups. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 5. Live Support window now stays on top of other windows. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 6. Removed one limitation of Beta1: The Averages section of the Registry Info Tool is not yet implemented. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 7. If a list has only a few items, a progress panel will no longer be shown while a selection operation (e.g. Select All) is running as the operation will only take a second. The progress panel will only be shown with long lists where the operation can take a few seconds to complete. || OK 8. Greatly improved the GUI of the Settings window. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 9. The File Tool and the Directory Tool now report if some items were not listed because of the Never Show Again feature or the Global Ignore List. (message shown only if Show Extended information has been enabled from Settings) || (.) 10. The Show Extended information feature is now disabled by default for users of the Basic user interface and enabled by default for users of the Advanced user interface. || OK 11. Greatly improved the way Software Uninstaller and Registry Manager handle and report the execution of the uninstaller application. || (.) 12. Added a warning to let the user know that PowerTools cannot undo any actions done by running the uninstaller application of a third party. || (.) 13. Improved the speed of the Registry Finder and Registry Cleaner. || OK 14. Improved the look and feel of the Quick Tutorial. || OK 15. Registry Info's 64 bit registry features are no longer visible under 32 bit Windows. || OK 16. Added a neat looking Warning panel to Program Maintenance Tool, clicking the Warning panel closes it and it will not be shown again. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 17. If the Registry Monitor crashes while creating a snapshot, the incomplete snapshot will be automatically deleted by the Registry Monitor. Starting from the next version, the user is shown a message when this happens, before no message was shown. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 18. Added features to test the Safety Net from the Main Window's Debug menu. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 19. The File Tool and Directory Tool no longer show the Top Panel if the list is empty. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 20. Removed Match Criteria tab from the Duplicate File Finder, the feature was more confusing than usefull. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 21. The "you are running the program in debug mode..." tip no longer shows with these Beta Testing Releases. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 22. The Startup Manager now starts with the filter panel invisible, before the panel was visible by default and this could be quite confusing for new users. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 23. Empty lists now show a text, for example the Backup tool shows "(No backups found)" if there are no backups to display. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 24. "The registry scan is now finished. All the items listed in the Registry Cleaner window are errornous should be safe to fix ..." message will no longer be shown if the Registry Cleaner scan doesn't find any errors. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 25. Fully redesigned File Cleaner. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 26. File Cleaner no longer shows "These files were found..." message if no files were found. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 27. The program could check for Live Support status within the first program run, this is not needed as the program needs to restart. || N/A 28. The first non-group item of the list is now automatically highlighted after an operation. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 29. Initial Setup doesn't cache directories that look like backup or temp directories. || OK 30. The System Cleaner is no longer visible for users using the Simple User Interface, the tool is the most dangerous tool of the entire program and therefore will not be shown to novice users. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 31. The System Cleaner now shows an info message when started to let the user know what the tool actually does. || (.) 32. The Top Panels of different tools are no longer visible if the tool's list is empty. || Fixed 678 x64 w7 Bugs Fixed (since Pre-Beta): 1. Some tool windows show up so small they cannot be used. || N/A 2. Clicking the "Simulation" tab of the File Split tool causes duplicate data to be added to the Simulated Results list. || Fixed 644 x64 3. Debug Tool: the Unit testing tool Close button does not turn green when used. || Fixed 644 x64 4. Custom Uninstall: when you use Re-analyze, the list's registry data doubles up || Fixed 644 x64 5. Anti-Malware Tool: the progress indicator is not wide enough to show many path names. || Fixed 644 x64 6. The Progress panel sometimes show up incorrectly positioned. || N/A 7. Unit Testing Tool's window opens so small it cannot be used. || N/A 8. Debug tool: the tip to users of the simple interface appears regardless of the interface chosen. Now, with 2.0.0.642, the tip does not appear with either of the interfaces. || 641 x64 || Fixed 644 x64 9. A progress panel would flicker at the moment a Log Window shows up to a tool window. This is now fixed. || N/A 10. There is another hole in the Safety Net: critical registry data of 64 bit Windows can be deleted without the Safety Net saying anything. || (.) 11.

If you have run out of trial time with any previous version, this version gives you a new 30 days. Some future beta version will be released with a beta testing license to solve the problem of the trial time running out, and to beta test the licensing scheme. || N/A 7. The Registry Info tool is now almost fully working, only the Averages sections are not yet implemented under the Details tabs. || Yes

tullik's testing log:

Version 2.0.0.644 issues 1. License tool: nothing happens when you click “Install a new license.” || 641 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 2. Clicking the main window's "Live Support” icon resizes the open Firefox window to an inconveniently small size. || 644 x64 || Fixed 3. Registry Information: the window is a little too small.

Anti-Malware tool: the “Update Anti-Malware” Abort and Close buttons stay red when clicked. || 644 x64 || Fixed 678 x64 w7 6. Anti-Malware tool: the Ignore Words mentioned in the messages below must be internal. The Ignore words tab doesn't have them, and the Whitelist only contains one file. The results indicate the internal Ignore Words don't always work. || 644 x64 || Fixed 678 x64 w7 : File "c:\users\owner\downloads\couponprinter.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "c:\users\owner\desktop\644\jv16pt.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "c:\users\owner\desktop\644\recognition.dll" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "z:\users\owner\desktop\ax\606\jv16pt.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "c:\users\owner\downloads\cyberlink.091927_lpt090714-03.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "c:\users\owner\downloads\firefox setup 3.6 beta 4.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "c:\users\owner\downloads\miro_installer.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "z:\users\owner\desktop\ax\631\jv16pt.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "z:\users\owner\desktop\ax\631\recognition.dll" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "z:\users\owner\desktop\ax\jre-6u16-windows-i586-s.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "z:\users\owner\desktop\ax\ooo_3.1.1_win32intel_install_wjre_en-us.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : File "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program\soffice.exe" skipped due to Ignore Words or Whitelist. : 12 files analyzed, 5 files do not seem safe to run!

Anti-Malware tool: a message said it skipped C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program\soffice.exe (for one example). However, it shows in the results. Also, nowhere did I specify a scan of C:\Program Files (x86). || 644 x64 || Fixed 678 x64 w7 8. File Tool: when using the “Select by search word” feature, then the filter panel, the group lines are included in the status bar selected and highlighted counts. EXCELLENT features, BTW. :) || 644 x64 || (.) 9. File Tool: probably because of the previous item (#8), when using Delete, the hidden files in those groups are no longer available to the list. Apparently, Delete causes removal from the list of the entire selected group. The files selected for deletion are correctly deleted and backed up. || 644 x64 || (.) 10. Filter panel: when bringing up the panel by just typing, there is a short delay before the panel actually shows. The delay apparently causes the second typed character to be lost. If you wait until the panel shows before typing the second character, it is OK. || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 11. Many tool lists: fail to remember the last user activated column sorts when the list is reloaded. || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 12. Startup Manager: create new to HKCU RunOnce works, but the task never shows in the list. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 13. Many tool lists: hitting the refresh key (f5) brings up the filter panel filled with a single “t” character. || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 14. Backup tool: when restoring multiple backups at the same time, if some have the same description, some of those do not restore (per the messages). || 644 x64 || (.) 15. Registry Finder: fails to find the following keys (used for a SafetyNet test): || 644 x64 || (.) hkey_local_machine\software\classes\hwdevicelogin.idhwdevice hkey_local_machine\software\classes\logicaldevice.idlogicaldevice HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\HWDeviceLogin.IDHWDevice HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\LogicalDevice.IDLogicalDevice 16. Registry Finder: adding the word Wow6432Node to the above search words causes a 25% disabled cpu loop (less than 1% is kernel time). The process has to be killed. || 644 x64 || (.) 17. Registry tools such as the Registry Finder can show duplicate data under 64 bit Windows. || 642 (???) x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 18. Software Uninstaller: Custom Uninstall for “Symantec Ccpd-lc” shows empty keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Symantec\CCPD-LC, which is not in the registry. The correct key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Symantec\CCPD-LC. Note: this is a remnant since Symantec programs were removed using the windows Programs and Features control panel. || 644 x64 || (.) 19. Software Uninstaller: on my systems, Custom Uninstall for “Netscape Navigator” always makes incorrect identifications under “Files” and “Advanced Settings.” IMO, it would be safer internally to ignore Netscape Navigator items, since the current algorithm associates them with Microsoft Office, Opera, and so forth. || 644 x64 || (.) 20. Registry Find & Replace: the results window cannot be resized with the mouse. || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 21. Automation Tool: message "x0x and xyz" run succesfully! should say “ … ran …" (not run). || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 22. File Tool: dragging files from an explorer window does not work. You get the “slashed circle” forbidden symbol. UAC is off. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 23. Global ignore list: is not honored by, for example, the Automation Tool (delete files from directories) or the File Tool (select lines, click Delete). Strings to ignore were: || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\x0x (files were removed from the folder by both tools) zzyzzx (one of the files was zzyzzx.txt) 24. Clean and Fix My Computer: except for a quick GUI flash, Never show again does not do anything it is supposed to do. || 644 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 25. Clean and Fix My Computer: there is a probable Wow6432Node issue involving PT2010 uninstall registry items, which cause an access violation and PowerTools hang when you try to “Export as a .reg file ' or “Save as a program backup.” || 644 x64 || (.) *** The list has 11 identical lines: HKLM\Soft\MSoft\Win\CurVer\uninstall\jv16 powertools 2010\, 99%, Obsolete Add / Remove menu entry *** The top panel shows a key which does not exist in green: HKLM\Soft\MSoft\Win\CurVer\Uninstall\jv16 PowerTools 2010\ *** This key does exist: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\jv16 PowerTools 2010 *** I'll get a debug log and post it separately. 26. Registry Cleaner: also has a problem with the same 11 PT2010 uninstall registry items. Upon delete, it gets an access violation. However, the key and entries were deleted, the backup was correct for the Wow6432Node key (even though the list did not show that), and the program did not hang. I'll post a debug log separately. (I restored the backup and deleted three additional times, but the access violation did not recur – so no debug log is available. I'll post the Entries.reg file to the “Clean and Fix My Computer” post about its problem with the same items.) || 644 x64 || (.) 27. File Encrypter: it seems the feature doesn't show an Abort button or any sort of progress indicator. I was encrypting over 1300 file from the File Tool. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 28. File Tool: there is an issue with More functions-->Move to recycle bin (access denied). The icon does that also. || 641 x64 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 29. File Tools (various): Size and Dates, when preferred columns, often do not fill in until you deselect Size. Then you have to reselect Size to make it show. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 30. Start Menu tool: when “Also show empty directories” is checked, the tool can refuse to show its results even though the progress indicator is full and the debug log says it is done. CPU use runs on at 25% with minimal kernel time. I'll post debug logs (3) separately. || 644 x64 || Fixed 678 x64 w7 31. Registry Finder runs on at ~25 to 30% cpu after Abort is clicked. It still happens. Note these messages: || 640 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 : HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG analyzed. : HKEY_USERS analyzed. : HKEY_CURRENT_USER analyzed. : Operation aborted. : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT analyzed. : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE analyzed. 32. Delete of a selected item in the Registry Manager "Open with" tab dropped the item from the list but backed up and deleted nothing. || 632 |..| 678 x64 w7 33. When you save a named preference, it saves OK. However, the name shown in the box immediately changes to “Saved preferences ...” – IMO, the just saved name should show instead. || 642 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 34. When you delete an HKCU item and its HKUS “mirror” with Custom Fix, one of the items stays in the results list. || 640 |..| 678 x64 w7 35. Backup Tool: List control-->Show filter panel gets this message “: Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window” quite often, maybe every time. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 36. When using the Explore feature, the opening Explorer window could stay behind other windows (second try to fix this) It seems to not work when the CTRL+point+click is at the filename part of the path, but does work at the folder part. || 641 (??) |..| Better 678 x64 w7 37. Registry tools including the Registry Cleaner could show a valid registry key in red color coding in the Top Panel. I haven't seen this in Beta 1. However, those tools can show an invalid registry key in green color coding in the Top Panel. || 642 |..| 678 x64 w7 38. Registry Cleaner: access violation deleting MRU. Deleted count = 114; backed up count = 112. After restore, possible cause was isolated to a Direct3D entry under a Wow6432Node key. There was an access violation while attempting to view the key via “Open in RegEdit.” Will post two debug logs and the backup Entries.reg separately. || 644 x64 || (.) 39. History Cleaner: “Never show again” without checking at least one line does nothing and no advisory message is issued. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 40. Main program: the "interrupted execution" bug is back again. See http://www.macecraft.com/bugtracker/bug/111243/ -- also see http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3878&p=20849#p20849 || 640 || Fixed 660 x86 Vista 41. Main window statistics says “... fixed 695 registry errors and deleted 51 temp files, 5 files deleted in total.” which is contradictory. It should say, for example, “... fixed 695 registry errors, deleted 51 temp files, and deleted 5 other files.” || 642 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 42. Startup Manager: when you remove a disabled task, it drops from the list. However, it still shows the next time you run the tool, and the backup is not created. Will email a debug log. <Current implementation requires a task to be enabled before it can be removed. That's OK, but the user should be told (or Remove button not active for a disabled task?)> || 642 x64 (.) 644 x64 43. Startup Manager – Create new: needs to add the various Wow6432Node Run and RunOnce options if the system is x64. || 644 x64 || N/A 44. Registry Cleaner: this key||name||data, HKLM\Soft\intervideo\wcreator2\ || OnlineUpdateHost || http:\\update.intervideo.com\, causes a sort of "false positive". RC says "File or directory "p:\update" does not exist." The program really ought to ignore addresses intended for browsers. E.g., http:, https:, and so forth. || 644 x86 (.) 660 x86 Vista 45. File Recovery Tool: results window shows no action buttons and the Top Panel and status bar are blank. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 (??) 46. File Recovery Tool: when you select a file, use the right click “Undelete” option, and choose a target directory, nothing happens. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 47. Clean and fix my computer: List control-->Remove from list for the MRU and history data group causes a PowerTools hang every time. I'll post a debug log separately. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 48. Clean and fix my computer: the Registry junk group contains several “false positives,” or just bugs, for empty keys which exist under a Wow6432Node but show in the GUI as existing in green keys which actually don't exist. || 644 x64 || (.) 49. Clean and fix my computer: MRU in the Ignore words tab does NOT prevent the MRU and history data group from appearing in the results. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 50. Automation Tool: when running tasks from the list, the “Last run” date is not updated in the list until you close and reload the list. || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 51. Registry Cleaner: when the initial results list contains certain detail lines, they often cannot be made to show in the Top Panel. || 644 x64 || (.) 52. Registry Finder: a search for Wow6432Node keys (ignoring all Wow6432Node\x keys, where x = any character) fails to find these four keys: || 644 x64 |..| 678 x64 w7 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1963773873-535440688-1456871427-1000\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1963773873-535440688-1456871427-1000\Software\Wow6432Node HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1963773873-535440688-1456871427-1000_Classes\Wow6432Node Search words: Classes\Wow6432Node Software\Wow6432Node Wow6432Node *** above words miss these keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1963773873-535440688-1456871427-1000\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1963773873-535440688-1456871427-1000\Software\Wow6432Node

53. Debug Tool: function key f3 with most PowerTools windows brings up a small window titled “Live Support.” The window and its three buttons do not seem to be correctly defined in the Debug Tool. In version 660, only the Abort button stays red. || 644 x64 || Fixed 678 x64 w7

60. Main window: displayed names of some tools (at least 3) are different on x64 Win 7 compared to x86 Vista. || 660 x64 w7 || Fixed 678 x64 w7

61. Settings, Installation: folder path names do not show until you double click each display box. || 660 x64 w7 || Fixed 678 x64 w7

62. Main window: there are no Statistics or health scales. || 660 x64 w7 || Fixed 678 x64 w7

Note: per the developer, Beta 2 (660) is pretty much unusable on x64 Windows 7. Switching to x86 Vista.

63. Start Menu and Desktop: empty folders on the desktop list twice. || 660 x86 Vista |..| 678 x64 w7

64. Registry Finder: a search for muicache entries enters a disabled 50% cpu loop after about 30 seconds. Details are here: http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=22323#p22323 || 660 x86 Vista |..| 678 x64 w7

67. Security dialog: the dialog in, Custom Restore for example, is often only a tiny title bar with no input box. || 660 x86 Vista |..| 678 x64 w7

68. Backup Tool, Custom Restore: when switching between the Files and Registry tabs, the column widths are forgotten. || 660 x86 Vista |..| 678 x64 w7

Release Notes:

I hope these nuisances will be gone in the release after Beta 4!

I hope so too! I have found and fixed a few generic bugs that can cause any tool to crash to an Access Violation error, and I have also found a few specific issues with some tools.
