jv16 PowerTools 2006 RC4

gutz

Hello JV16,

I already tried many RC version. The latest one (RC4) is not bad. However, I think that the startup amanger is really not the same as it was. It is not possible to delete anything from the list presented by the startupmanager. The oly result is that it crashes fully without showing any error message. Please solve this since it helps pretty often to erase useless tasks. :

Problem 1: Sometimes when removing lines with RF, it leaves some things undone. In the screenshot below, I had just removed 100 keys. The lines dropped from the list and backup occurred, but the status bar did not update and the progress indicator did not go away.

Problem 2: When removing many entries with RF, it very often does not do all the lines checked. The lines drop from the list and backup occurs, but many, sometimes all, of the entries are still in the registry when the RF scan is repeated.

Sometimes Registry Finder shows bad lines. Click the screenshot. The four non-checked lines are not correct. There were two or three others.

1. One line does not have a visible match to any search word.

2. That line's registry value is a very long string which is a list with the elements separated by a non-visible character. The first element is the value in the RF line, The second element is in the time stamp cell. Regedit jump goes to My Computer.

3. The time stamp is blank in the other three lines.

4. Regedit jump for the three lines with blank time stamps goes to My Computer; except for the time stamp, the information shown is correct.

5. Another line not in the screenshot had a blank time stamp and a value data type of RG_MULTI_SIZE. The information in that RF line matched what regedit showed (a colon). Regedit jumped to My Computer.

~~Added note: PT 2005 displays the same lines correctly. See http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4120#4120~~

As it comes close from final , I have the following question : when you act with Registry Cleaner , suppose you find wrong keys and decide not a custom fix but to fix some of the errors ,; ususally you are prompted to decide wether you wish a backup or not , but if you press "FIX" twice (at a small time interval , eventually mistakenly , just because you did not see the prompt immediately , then fixing apparaently works (I guess the keys are deleted ) but no backups any more !!!

Is that normal? In this case a warning should be in order in the help 'even in eneglish...)OLIVIER GEBUHRER

PS I noticed that in all versions Beta

I can't seem to be able to reproduce the problem, could you verify the items were in fact removed? Perhaps the prompt window was just behind the Registry Cleaner window and you didn't see it?

I also just noticed something strange with RC. I had created a list from the software manager in jv RC3 and jv RC4. The reg cleaner shows errors in MRU saying these files don't exist. Yet I can browse to the folder and open the files. Is this normal?

Sound familiar, I have received similar reports of PT 2005 too. For some reason the registry cleaning engine sometimes reports MRU items with a wrong error description.

I thought I got the bug fixed with PT 2006 but I guess it's still there. Thanks for reporting.

The "Custom remove" feature doesn't work as it crashes the program. Half of the USER and SYS resources are "hijacked" in the process (they're simply gone). This also happens in all final versions of 1.5.1.x (except in the last version released, which I didn't check). In the betas, however, it worked with no problems.

This bug should now be fixed.

A uninstall entry isn't correctly listed. Its display name is "Simulador 8085" but it gets displayed only as "Simulador". This was fixed in RC2, but the fix produced a bigger bug that is causing the name of some entries to be listed incorrectly. Particularly, the problem lies with those entries containing a number in its name. Some examples:

Mp3tag V.2.32a (RC1) ---> Mp3tag V.a (RC4)

Java 2 SDK, SE V.1.4.2_ (RC1) ---> Java 2 SDK, SE V_07 (RC4)

The Software Manager automatically filters out the version data of software.

For example,

"Software v1.0" becomes "Software".

The strange results listed above are caused by the fact that filtering out the version data is very difficult and only works in the most clear cases.

The filtering is needed since different software usually never list their data to the registry with the version number included. In other words, there's no point in searching the registry for "Adobe Acrobat v.1.3.2.1" since nothing is found, the entries are found only if the search word "Adobe Acrobat" is used.

Thank you for reporting, I'll read the rest of your report later.

I don't think it's a PT bug at all. Check here: http://www.macecraft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4037#4037

By the way, this filter feature was introduced in the latest Release Candidates, am I wrong?

There has always been such filtering, but the filtering method has been improved in the last few RCs.

jv, maybe a tip the first time the tool is used would suffice ...

Yes, I agree. But i don't know if I want to change the language interface (English.lng) only because of this...

Understand. What PT 2007 or 8 needs is a message tool (for use by developers and translators only). Done right, it could permit PT to issue more messages with less work for all concerned. I'll make a feature request in a week or so.
