jv16 PowerTools 2011 Beta4 released

siliconman01

It seems to me that, considering the frequency that users add and remove programs from their computers, the HKLM and HKCU RUN registry keys need to be backup every time the Startup Manager is opened in addition to backing these keys up on initial setup of jv16. Once jv16 2011 goes live and release of jv16 new builds becomes infrequent, the initial setup back of these keys can/will be more or less meaningless for many jv16 users. The list of startup programs often changes significantly over a period of 3-6 months. Or am I missing something here? :?

Summarizing so far:

The attached .zip file contains 4 earlier reported issues, which I can reproduce in jv16PT v2.0.0.995 (beta 4b) and are awaiting developer response.

Monday Jan 10th: Some cosmetic editing done in .zip file.

XP-SP3 with v2.0.0.990(beta3):

jv16PT-beta3 Software Uninstaller with XP-SP3 finds 35 programs, a known freeware program finds 105 programs.

I found a few bugs that caused this, the next build will be able to find more software. There are still some room for improvement, but I would love to hear the results with the next build.

-> One Access Violation occures.

I cannot reproduce this issue. Do you let PowerTools to create backups of this operation? Do you use the same test directory for both?

Do you mean you click the Cancel button on the System Cleaner window or from the backup creation popup? I cannot reproduce this issue either.

This CFMC issue, reported already for beta2 viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4294&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=30#p26948

This problem is repeatable in both XP-SP3 and W7 x86!

Backup Tool: the menu bar icons show in the list area while the list loads. Happens every time during initial load.

This is a known issue of the list control, we will work on it after everything else. It's a low priority cosmetic issue.

Suggestion:

C&FMC backups have a type of "Entries removed/changed with Registry Cleaner."

This should be changed to something else, perhaps to something like "Items removed/changed with Clean & Fix My Computer" or "Items removed/changed with C&FMC tool."

Starting with next build, items deleted or fixed with the Clean and Fix My Computer feature have one of the following backup types:

Errors fixed with Clean and Fix My Computer

Data removed with Clean and Fix My Computer

Yes, the feature is fully implemented and ready for testing.

My tests of the Tag System were going well in prior betas until I tried it with the Startup Manager. I'll resume Tag System testing when its issues in the Startup Manager are fixed.

We are working on these issues.

tullik wrote

Eventually, the system will need a way to remove a tag definition.

To untag a line, simply double click the tag area and uncheck the tag from the list. To delete a tag definition, double click the tag area to open the tag window, select a tag and use the Right-Click menu to delete the tag.

Is this earlier reported Software Uninstaller issue seen as a "bug" or "works as designed"?

I don't know if I would call it a bug, but the detection of software clearly needs some improvement. There were a few bugs that caused software not being listed in the Software Uninstaller, these bugs are now fixed and the next build will list more software. How much, I don't know but I'm very interested to hear from you.

I updated the test procedure (text above in red), please try this procedure. I always get the 2 x Access Violation on each test.

Currently I can only test XP-SP3 with v2.0.0.995. But last week, using v2.0.0.993, this test procedure produced the 2 x Access Violations in both XP-SP3 and W7 x86!

I understood that the Unit Testing Tool in v2.0.0.995 does not differ from v2.0.0.993.

The errors in v2.0.0.993 are not (yet) fixed. See: http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4300&start=60#p27243

Oh I see now. Thanks for the info.

Here is the most recent Change Log:

Bug fix: Running the Start Menu Fixer many times in a row causes duplicate items to show up in the list of results.


Bug fix: "Never Show Again" does not work on empty folders in Clean and Fix.  It does not store these in SuperEasyFixIgnoreList.dat; thereby, they are always detected.
Bug fix: Using Enable and Disable many times in a row in Startup Manager produces "Internal error ERM-1"
Bug fix: Backups created during Initial Setup only backup the 32 bit view of the registry.
Bug fix: In Startup Manager, if a program is a pure 64-bit program loading from C:\Program Files, jv16 does not show that the program is running.
Bug fix: Items disabled with the Startup Manager do not always show up in Msconfig.
Bug fix: In File Tool and Directory Tool, after the build-up of the list was finished, the screen shows flickering once every 5 seconds.
Bug fix: Clean and Fix My Computer "All done!" count can be wrong when removing empty directories.
Bug fix: Backup Tool does not remember resizing of columns done by double clicking. It does remember resizing done by dragging. Some other tool lists are also affected.
Bug fix: Aborting a Delete or Fix operation of the Clean and Fix My Computer causes the tool window to close and sometimes an Access Violation.
Bug fix: Empty folder detected even though it is in SuperEasyFixIgnoreList.dat
Bug fix: In Startup Manager, using the Open in RegEdit option for a key in HKLM\Run under 64 bit Windows, opens the RegEdit in the 32 bit view of the registry, not the 64 bit view.

Improvement: Improved the safety of Start Menu Fixer in regard of detecting empty folders.
Improvement: Backups created during the Initial Setup now also backup HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Improvement: Software Uninstaller will now detect more software (there is still room for improvement)
Improvement: Backups created with the Clean and Fix My Computer tool no longer show "Entries removed/changed with Registry Cleaner" as their backup type.
