[Confusing Messages]

Woah!

 

Happens to me too...

 

I've never noticed.

I always have all my own settings ticked.

This only happens when there's nothing else ticked but Recent Documents.

 

I'ts a minor bug.

I seem to have an uncanny knack for hitting all the bugs right away, even if they are minor.

 

It is the major ones in so many products that have made me so cautious.

[Ability to Select/Unselect Specific Items in Cleaner]

Why would you want to save temp files?

 

Temp files are trash anyway! There is no harm in getting rid of temp files. CCleaner is totally safe. ....

I only used the Temp files as an example. it applies to every category except inside the registry.

If you think it is totally safe, that's great. i am very cautious and sometimes want to exc;lude things just because I don't klnow exactly what they are.

You're the first I know of. Yes, I get this too. But if I untick Temporary Files and then run Analyse the total figure does decrement by the right amount. I haven't tried any other options.

The erroneous reporting of "0.14MB to be removed. (Approximate size)" in my example, when really NOTHING is going to be removed, seems like a minor, easily fixable bug.

 

But in a registry cleaner, bugs surrounding what might or might not be removed make me VERY NERVOUS !

 

 

Thanks.

I hope Piriforms will fix this in what is otherwise a very useful program.

[Ability to Select/Unselect Specific Items in Cleaner]

When you do a reg clean and press 'scan for issues' the first column listed is problems with a tickbox next to it.

 

Take the tick out of the box, and then you are able to tick individual items for removal.

 

Is this what you are meaning?

No.

In the Registry Cleaning section, we do have those options.

What I mean is that in the Cleaner section, we have no individual options. For example, here is my screen after scanning for Temporary Files:

 

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (1.419 secs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.21MB to be removed. (Approximate size)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Details of files to be deleted (Note: No files have been deleted yet)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\Windows\TEMP\ASPNETSetup_00000.log 775 bytes

C:\Windows\TEMP\Cookies\index.dat 16.00KB

C:\Windows\TEMP\DMI1286.tmp 0 bytes

C:\Windows\TEMP\DMI4FE4.tmp 0 bytes

C:\Windows\TEMP\DMI58AA.tmp 0 bytes

.

.

.

(much more).....

 

 

There is no way for me to select just the third entry, or anything but the fourth entry, etc. Hence, you have to accept EVERYTHING for deletion, or nothing.

 

If the Cleaner section were just set up like the Registry section, with individual checkboxes, everything would be great. Other Reg Cleaners are set up this way.

 

Thanks.

The messages following the scans are confusing. For example, with just "Recent Documents" checked, after the scan, this message apears:

 

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (0.062 secs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0.14MB to be removed. (Approximate size)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Details of files to be deleted (Note: No files have been deleted yet)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\05 Face Guan Yin 1.wav.lnk 850 bytes

C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\0801225 China 2.lnk 609 bytes

.

.

.

.

 

But if I UNCHECK the "Recent Documents" and then rescan the message comes back as:

 

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (0.004 secs)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0.14MB to be removed. (Approximate size)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

No files are listed, but it still says "0,14 MB to be removed" !!!

So this makes me afraid to run the cleaner with any other rescans other than the very first one after opening and scanning. Otherwise, I am not really sure (from the messages anyway) if the prior scan results are still scheduled for deletion or not.

 

I have experimented, and know that it really doesn't delete them, but I wish the messages would not be so ambiguous. Am I the first one to notice this ?!?!?

 

(I like the program. I am not complaining, just suggesting a clarification.)

...such as with the Registry cleaning section. I am really surprised this doesn't exist. Lots of times I can't use the cleaner because of 1 or two items that I want to keep.

[IE8 Cookie Control?]

I just double checked, and using v2.17.853 under IE8 the cookies I choose are being saved correctly.
