Here's my current testing checklist for Beta 5. Updated for version 2.0.0.796 as of 16 April.
PT2010 Beta 5 (779-796) #2 Tested on x64 Windows 7 HP desktop (or on x86 Vista BE pre-SP1 desktop where indicated)
Observations (current beta):
Beta 5 released:
- Prior issues confirmed as still present in Beta 5: 20
Beta 5 fixes and improvements which did not work (3, included in previous count)
Beta 5 fixes and improvements not yet tested: 22
Prior and new Issues awaiting test in Beta 5 or later: 110 (**)
Prior issues closed as probably “not applicable” in Beta 5 or later: 24 (***)
Issues confirmed to be OK in Beta 5: 81
Issues confirmed to be OK before Beta 5: 268 (*)
Total: 525
(*) Note: most of these closed items have been removed from the logs due to a board limit on the number of characters in a post.
(**) Note: the counts are a count of tests, and are not necessarily a bug count. For example, the developer may describe one fix in the release notes that actually addresses several issues in my testing log.
(**) Note: due to the significant recoding required with Delphi 2010, some issues are likely not relevant as originally reported. These are tagged with “OBS.” When/if such issues recur, they will be considered new issues.

15. "Control hidden items" window reports funny names for ignored items, such as "2 name", when it would be more logical to just show "software name". __ 779 x64 w7 (.)
16. Clean and fix my computer tool reports "Scan finished ..." even if the scan was a __ 779 x64 w7 (.)

tullik's testing log:
Version 2.0.0.644 issues
1. License tool: nothing happens when you click “Install a new license.” __ 641 x64 |....| 796 x64 w7
12. Startup Manager: create new to HKCU RunOnce works, but the task never shows in the list. 644 x64 |.| 779 x64 w7 Fixed
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
15. Registry Finder: fails to find the following keys (used for a SafetyNet test): __ 644 x64 (.) 686 x64 w7
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
17. Registry tools such as the Registry Finder can show duplicate data under 64 bit Windows. 642 (???) x64 |.| 779 x64 w7 Fixed
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
22. File Tool: dragging files from an explorer window does not work. You get the “slashed circle” forbidden symbol. UAC is off. __ 644 x64 |.| 779 x64 w7 Fixed
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
*** 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 (.) 686 x64 w7
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
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 |...| 796 x64 w7
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 (.) 686 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 |.| 779 x64 w7 Fixed
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 (??) |....| 796 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 (.) 686 x64 w7
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 |...| 796 x64 w7
43. Startup Manager – Create new: needs to add the various Wow6432Node Run and RunOnce options if the system is x64. __ 644 x64 |.| 686 x64 w7 Pre-beta 5 Not a bug
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 x64 (.) 686 x64 w7
45. File Recovery Tool: results window shows no action buttons and the Top Panel and status bar are blank. 644 x64 (.) 686 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 (.) 686 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 |.| 779 x64 w7 Fixed
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
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 |...| 779 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 (.) 686 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 (.) 686 x64 w7
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 (.) 686 x64 w7
