https://jv16powertools.com/downloads/jv16pt_setup.exe
This is the second update to the brand new jv16 PowerTools 7.x series. You can install this update over any existing 6.x or 7.x version of the program. No uninstallation is needed nor recommended.
This release includes some bug fixes and minor improvements, they are detailed in the Change Log below. The main improvements are the added Statistics panel to Dashboard and improved accuracy of detecting installed software.
Let me know what you think of the new version! Thank you!
jv16 PowerTools Change Log Since b1288
Fixes:
1) Fix: If you used Tools > Maintenance > Flush Caches, the Dashboard's hard drive analysis will not run, before 24 hours has passed. That is, it will work the next day you run jv16 PowerTools. Therefore, a minor issue, but fixed nevertheless.
2) Fix: The scan module view did not honor the Settings > General > 'Show what item is currently being analyzed in the scan progress screen'. That is, if you had disabled this setting, the scan progress screen would still display the currently scanned paths per each module.
3) Fix: System Cleaner's Clean And Fix button did not have the blue border to symbolize it being the default action button of the tool.
4) Fix: In some cases, starting the System Cleaner immediately brought up the scan progress screen's 'finalizing' stage, which would stay on screen during the entire scan time instead of the actual progress screen. This was a cosmetic issue and did not affect the actual scan, however, it could seem confusing and could make you think the scan had frozen.
5) Fix: The scan progress circle could have a different line width on different tools. This was purely a cosmetic issue.
6) Fix: The Help > Command Line Parameters text contained a typo and it was not possible to translate the text. It existed in the translation file, but the app failed to load the translated version.
Improvements:
1) Added a statistics panel to the Dashboard to show how much data has been cleaned with jv16 PowerTools.
2) Running the System Cleaner could go by too fast in the case of not many items being cleaned, this makes it difficult to check or uncheck the 'restart computer' checkbox. This has now been addressed by ensuring the cleaning operation will take at least a few seconds. Also, the restart option will now be only automatically checked if the cleaning consists of over 100 items.
3) The scan progress screen now shows the status of the program with more details.
4) Improved the accuracy of detection of installed software, this enhances the performance of both System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller.
Known issues
During the quality control for this version, we have also identified a few bugs in the new version. These are all cosmetic issues with no real user impact or risk and will be fixed in upcoming versions. These issues are:
1) The circular chart elements in Internet Optimizer may contain visual artefacts.
2) The text of the circular progress element in the progress screen, such as when scanning the system, can be sometimes drawn to the left side of the screen. This issue is evident if the window is resized during the progress screen being visible.
3) Sometimes the program fails to correctly fetch the icon of a running application, causing the CPU or RAM listing areas of the Dashboard to show either a missing or incorrect icon.
4) The top right corner panel buttons of the Dashboard can display incorrect color when the mouse cursor is over them.
