jv16 PowerTools 2010 Beta4 released!

tullik

91. File Recovery: can get an access violation. If the scan is aborted, the violation can occur several minutes later. || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7

In this version, an APPCRASH occurred several minutes later.

123. Directory Tool: : Access violation at address 00750453 in module 'jv16PT.exe'. Read of address 00000488 {.} 686 x64 w7

All I did was click the tool icon in the main window.

*Dir tool violation.zip

55. Sometimes when opening a tool it opens but shows an Access Violation error message. This can also happen when closing a tool. |...| 686 x64 w7 (??)

Apparently this fix did not catch all the causes.

124. Directory Tool: right click-->Properties gets an error pop-up from windows. {.} 686 x64 w7

5. All the program's main features can be now accessed with a command line parameter || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7 (??)

Several bring up the main window, not the tool window. Some examples: -BackupTool, -DirTool, -DuplicateFinder

This is undoubtedly due to the developer changing the valid spellings of the parameters. I can pick up most of the currently valid spellings from the shortcuts created with the Tools menu. What is the new spelling for invoking the Backup Tool this way?

There is still this bug also:

92. Desktop shortcuts: History Cleaner (for example) does not use the remembered column widths when started this way. || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7

14. File Tool's Right Click > Explore works, More functions > Explore does not. |.| 686 x64 w7 || Fixed

This now works like this:

Explore icon:
- If only one line is selected, it opens correctly at the selected file.
  
  If only one line is selected, but another is highlighted, it opens at the highlighted file.
Right click-->Explore:
- It always opens at the file in the right clicked line. It doesn't matter if other lines are selected or if nothing is selected.
Right click-->More functions-->Explore:
- If only one line is selected and right clicked, it opens correctly at that file.
  
  If only one line is selected, but another is right clicked, it opens at the right clicked file.

I can learn to live with these variations, so I'm calling it "fixed."

39. Aborting a registry snapshot creation (with the Registry Monitor tool) can crash the program. Also, the operation can continue to run in the background. |...| 686 x64 w7 (??)

40. Aborting Registry Monitor's Compare feature incorrectly shows the "Operation completed, following changes were detected..." message and the actual operation can continue to run in the background. |...| 686 x64 w7 (??)

These are partially fixed. The operation still continues to run in the background.

tullik

61. Trying to use any random file as a license file via Help > License Tool > Install license makes the program to show an error message about the license file being for an earlier version of PowerTools even as the file is not a valid license file at all. || 686 x64 w7 (??) |.| N/A

The above fix cannot be tested until the bug below is fixed:

1. License tool: nothing happens when you click “Install a new license.” || 641 x64 |...| 686 x64 w7

tullik

22. File Tool: dragging files from an explorer window does not work. You get the “slashed circle” forbidden symbol. UAC is off. || 644 x64 |...| 686 x64 w7

The drag operation works if you do it to the column heading bar. It doesn't work if you drag to the list's white space.

The new message "(No files added, you can add files by dragging them to this window)" needs to be more specific.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This functionally related bug is still in Beta 4. The "Add files from a directory..." options do work.

76. File Tool-->Files-->Add files … does nothing except cause a pop-up to flash up and away too quickly to see what it says. || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7

tullik

70. Live support tool: the Abort button stays red (the other two buttons turn green). || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7 (???)

This bug in the Debug Tool is still present in Beta 4.

tullik

77. File Tool-->More functions-->Move to Recycle bin gets a “Failed to access” message every time. || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7

The message now says "Failed to remove "the file path"!" every time.

78. File Tool-->More functions-->Execute does nothing. || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7

The debug log should reflect both of the issues.

17. Registry tools such as the Registry Finder can show duplicate data under 64 bit Windows. || 642 (???) x64 |...| 686 x64 w7

More information (applies to both Beta3 and Beta 4):

HKCU hits are listed twice.

HKLM hits are listed once.

tullik

10. The Filter Panel can sometimes pop up outside of the list control. |...| 686 x64 w7 || (???)

It seems this can still happen in Beta 4 . . .

125. Registry Find & Replace: : Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window {.} 686 x64 w7

83. Directory tool: More functions-->Explore doesn't open to the selected directory. It opens to the partition, e.g., to C:\. || 678 x64 w7 |...| 686 x64 w7 (???)

That was in Beta 3. Now, in Beta 4, none of the four ways of invoking Explore in the Directory Tool do anything.

tullik

99. File Tool: CTRL+a does the selection but also brings up the filter panel with an “a” in it. || 678 x64 w7 |.| 686 x64 w7 Fixed

This is fixed. However, repeated use of CTRL+a, CTRL+n, and CTRL+i (for example) often triggers the "loose filter panel" bug.

tullik

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 |...| 686 x64 w7

It would be nice if this usability issue were fixed for Beta 5 . . .

126. System Cleaner: before and after changing the File Cleaner settings, nothing shows in the “Delete Files” window. {.} 686 x64 w7

127. C&FMC: access violation when trying to click Abort while doing repeated Ctrl+a. {.} 686 x64 w7

*Cafmc violation 01.zip

Besides the access violation, the populated list changed to an empty one with the "(No errors found)" text.

Messages:

: All done! 0 registry errors were fixed, 17.0 KB of data was removed (1 files, 0 directories, 0 registry entries and 0 registry keys).
