Here is the full Change Log and other Release Notes:

jv16 PowerTools Change Log Since 7.7.0.1524

Fixes:

1) Running System Cleaner multiple times in one session could cause it to find the same files to clean each time.

2) Known bug fixed: Using some tools such as Duplicate Finder or File Wiper could show a blank screen during the operation instead of the progress screen. This is a cosmetic issue as the tools are actually working correctly, there is just no progress screen.

3) Running System Cleaner multiple times in one session could make it never complete the scan.

Known issues:

1) The Russian translation does not work. Trying to use it may cause error message "Slava Ukraini" to be displayed.

Been awhile since I posted.

V.1532; Using the Cleaner, I notice the progress only goes to ~39% before completion?

Suggestion: When using the System Cleaner, the initial infomation page opens very briefly and then closes if the user has check marked the box stating not to display the initial page. I recommend that jv16 first check whether the "Do not display" option is checked and then do not open the initial page if it is checked. That should prevent the brief page opening.

Any plans for a new version release soon?

Version 8.0 is planned end of March 2023. Jouni has sent us an email about that.

I hope version 8 release fixes the right click failure and the startup monitor select failure (multiple monitor systems). Neither work on my Win10x64 Pro or Win11x64 Pro systems.

In System Cleaner, if I right click on a file or registry item, none of the right click features respond.

If I change Settings>General Settings>Start jv16 In monitor 0 to say monitor 1, click on apply, close jv16, restart jv16, it still opens on monitor 0 and the entry has changed back from 1 to 0.

I'm afraid we don't have any testing systems with multiple screens at the moment. I will see if I can get such system and if we can reproduce the issue, then I can fix it.

This is confirmed and fixed, thank you for reporting! The fix will be included in the next released version (version 8.0).

On the Monitor issue, it appears to me that APPLY does not SAVE the selected value to "UseMonitor=" in %ProgramsFiles%\jv16 PowerTools\Settings\Settings.dat. I can manually change UseMonitor=0 to UseMonitor=2 and jv16 opens on monitor 2 as it should.

jv16 1532 (and previous versions) creates 3-4 System Restore points when running System Cleaner. IMO it should create just 1 point.

This can happen when the System Restore reports that the System Restore Point creation failed and this causes jv16 PowerTools to try that again using another method. But apparently, the creation did not fail and this can cause multiple ones to be created.
