In TRIM, I personally feel that the (default) and (overwrite) options should be swapped/changed.
1. Trim (default) - Trim winapp2.ini and replace the old winapp2.ini
2. Trim (new file) - Trim winapp2.ini and save the output to a new file -
When the new update, TRIM no longer works on Windows 10x64 Pro. I get the following.
Quote*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Trim *
* *
* This tool will trim winapp2.ini down to contain only *
* entries relevant to your machine, greatly reducing both *
* application load time and the winapp2.ini filesize. *
* Menu: *
*0. Exit - Return to the winapp2ool menu *
*1. Trim (default) - Trim winapp2.ini and save the output to a new file *
*2. Trim (overwrite) - Trim winapp2.ini and overwrite the existing file *
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Enter a number: 2
Trimming...
Trimming complete.
Initial number Of entries: 2247
Number of entries after trimming: 233

Finished trimming winapp2.ini, press any key to return to the winapp2ool menu.

Suggested wording changes for consistency

TRIM worked properly except for the count discrepancy (see attached pic)
CCINIDEBUG worked properly
WINAPPDEBUG worked properly except for the count discrepancy with TRIM
DIFF worked properly.
Great progress!!!
Update: Examining CCleaner.ini file, it looks as though the count issue is in Winappdebug.exe. This module looks like it is counting all the lines in ccleaner.ini insteard of just the (App) lines.
-
ISSUE 1 with ccinidebug:
In running the new ccinidebug, it falsely displays that every entry in the ccleaner.ini is a stale entry and will be pruned. If I continue to the second step to let it prune and organize ccleaner.ini, it does not actually prune these entries.
-
I installed the new winapp2ool.exe and performed a TRIM. The new TRIM removed 7 cleaning modules that should not have been removed. In examining the ones falsely trimmed (see attached file), the "Detect" checks are all located in the HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node hive area of the registry. So it looks like the new TRIM is not testing this area or is testing it incorrectly.
-
The new winapp2ool.exe no longer crashes when using DIFF.
QuoteFWIW I think there may be some bug in trim.bat because it also generated more entries for me, but some of them should not have been detected as being on my system.
Yes, it does appear to be improperly trimming. In addition it does not alphabetize its final selection. The new version of Trim is still showing 5 less than the original TRIM.BAT. However, the DIFF run shows a lot of adds and removes that do not look correct.
TRIM does not seem to like it if the cleaning module has no DETECT or DETECTFILE in the code. It removes these modules
-
ISSUE 3:
Winappdebug failed to detect the missing backslash in the following ExcludeKey
ExcludeKey1=FILE|%SystemDrive%\TomsCommonData\Rainmeter\Skins\Gadgets\@Resources\Language|Weather_EN-US.inc
QuoteYou may want to try running the .NET Repair Tool
I ran this tool and it did not resolve the crash issue.
Quoteare you including the .ini extension when entering the file name? (you should be!) '
Yes, I am including the .ini extension
QuoteHave you tried running just the trim module? It doesn't call any code from diff so it should not trigger a crash in that module as far as I'm aware.
Yes, I have run the TRIM module. It is trimming 5 more cleaning items than the original TRIM.BAT. That is why I am wanting to get the DIFF module working.
QuoteDoes the error still occur if you move to tool to a less privileged folder?(ie. downloads)
Yes, it still crashes...with and without "Run as Administrator"

Here is a demo of the new multitool (winapp2ool): https://github.com/MoscaDotTo/Winapp2/tree/master/Tools/beta
Please give it a try, it includes a slightly improved WinappDebug, ccinidebug, a new module called "diff" that compares two winapp2.ini versions and outputs the changes, and a trimming module with an option to both overwrite the existing winapp2.ini file or to output to a new file called winapp2-trimmed.ini
Recommended that you run it as an administrator, many of the functions don't work will without elevation. Trim especially, as it can't access certain registry keys without elevation and will as a result, erroneously trim entries from your file.
My system is Windows 10x64 Professional Build 16299.192 V1709. I am running Winapp2ool.exe as "Run as Administrator"
ISSUE 1:
When I run the DIFF tool, it crashes after I have entered the 2 names of the Winapp2.ini files I want to compare. Below are the two errors via the Event Viewer

Even though I run the tool as "Run as Administrator", it trims 5 more items than the original Trim.bat tool. I can't tell which ones are being trimmed because the DIFF tool is crashing.

[Windows Shellbags *] is causing another annoying issue when using Search within File Explorer. It causes the search results to be defaulted back to Content view instead of the user selected view such as Detailed View. Reference the link below which describes/resolves the problem of the selected user view within the Search of File Explorer.
https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/60109-how-change-default-folder-view-search-results.html
Once a user sets the desired view for Search in File Explorer as per the solution in the link above (and it does work), [Windows Shellbags *] wipes out the fix and reverts File Explorer back to the default Search view which is Content. The two keys below are causing the problem.
RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagsRemoving these two keys from [Windows Shellbags *] is the only "fix" that I can make work; however, maybe someone else can feedback a more desirable fix.

Steam definitely fits better under Games for our purposes (not a category that exists by Default in CCleaner) given that there are almost 400 entries in winapp2.ini (for reference, winapp.ini has only 402 entries total) that target games. Beyond the basic Steam entry, I don't think Piriform supports anything targeted at gaming.
I suspect there are a few entries in Winapp.ini that are not classified properly.

CCinidebug.exe creates/leaves multiple blank lines in file CCleaner.ini.

I recommend that the changes to move such anti-virus programs as Norton, Avast, AVG to 3021 be reversed back to 3024.

I think this is a bug and I have reported it in the Bug section of CCleaner. In winapp.ini, other av programs such as Avast, AVG, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes, are in 3024

CCleaner uses LangSecRef 3021 for internet security programs. I think we should change the LangSecRef of Avast, AVG, Avira AntiVir Desktop, Bitdefender, ESET, Kaspersky, McAfee and Norton to 3021 from 3024.
If I may ask, where does it show that CCleaner uses LangSecRef 3021 for internet security programs ?
