  1. Yes, it can be a bit confusing, but once you get use to it, it's actually not that bad. It is only the highlighted stuff that you need to look at. The way GitHub works, is that it will show you what was changed, plus an extra 3 lines above the changes and 3 lines down. What you are seeing is where it got cut, which is why there was a line in between them, so they look like that.

    Aaaaah, that explains the mixed up entries I was seeing. I was reading it as red - removed, green - added, white - unchanged :rolleyes:

     

    I'm guessing nothing can be done about the wall of text that winapp2 downloads as?

  2. @JDPower: [Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate*] was removed due to it being added to CCleaner, upon request here: https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&page=283&do=findComment&comment=275583

     

    Can you please tell me which entry you are seeing Xilisoft FileKeys in (also make sure you are looking at the one on GitHub and not here, as I stated in my previous post).

    I was referring to the changelog link you posted before my post which has this in it:

     [Stored Media Player Paths*]
     LangSecRef=3025
     Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows
     RegKey5=HKCU\Software\Xilisoft\Video Converter Ultimate\Settings|recent_profiles
     RegKey6=HKCU\Software\Xilisoft\Video Converter Ultimate\Settings\output
    

    (Github version is horrendous to view in Notepad when dowloaded btw  :huh:  )

     

    EDIT: Looks like Github is confusing me and I simply don't understand the changelog layout as that is not in the actual file (Once I found an actual way to download winapp2 from Github that is. And that was AFTER I somehow downloaded an old version from there. User friendly it is not :rolleyes: )

  3. Um, why has the Stardock Fences entry got Steam locations in it???

    [Stardock Fences*]
     LangSecRef=3024
     Detect=HKLM\Software\Stardock\Misc\Fences
     Default=False
     FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files*\Steam\depotcache|*.*
     FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Steam\depotcache|*.*
    
  4.  

    It is the default path for the 64-bit location. If you move it from (x86) to the 64-bit directory for program files, it will, by default, rename it to that instead.

    I was referring to the lack of a Samsung folder in your path, perhaps Windows specific path differences (Win7 here).

    (although on a side point I wasn't aware there was a specific 64bit version, using 64 bit Windows but Magician installer installs to Program Files (x86) by default here)

  5.  

    Not my FileKeys

    Are you sure that's not a custom location you chose to install to? I have Magician and it's installed to %ProgramFiles%\Samsung\Samsung Magician like the rest of the original entry too

    Anyone remember when Mozilla said there'd be no more minor version updates? (there's been 24 updates between FF40 and 48! :rolleyes: )

  7.  

    [Polarity Favicon*]

    LangSecRef=3022DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\PolarityDefault=False

    EDIT: I just realised the "Polarity Favicon*" don't even have FileKeys to them. Weird...

    Well isn't that a useful entry :lol:

  8.  

    Only problem I had with 48.0 was with WOT since may system cleaning batch file will nuke some non-English language files, never had an issue with it for several years prior. On a side note I wonder why the developers of WOT don't pack it into an XPI.

    Funny you should say that, last night I also discovered two of my "unsigned" addons were showing as unsigned as I'd added their language files to CCleaner, and every time the files were removed the addons would change to unsigned.

    Found replacements for two of the other unsigned addons, and the remaining one showed as signed after reinstalling from AMO (exact same version!). So have now updated to FF48 with all addons working.

  9. As the title says. Trying to access the forum on FF at the mo gives the following (just informing in case it's something Piriform need to chase up with Mozilla):

     

    Secure Connection Failed

     

    An error occurred during a connection to forum.piriform.com. The OCSP server suggests trying again later. Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_TRY_SERVER_LATER

    If you remove the Nvidia Installer2 folder, you can no longer "uninstall" the Nvidia software via Control Panel>Programs and Features.  You can do an over-the-top upgrade to a newer version of the Nvidia software.  

     

    Personally, I prefer to remove the Installer2 folder and have been doing so for years.  If I ever need to uninstall the Nvidia software, I can just re-install the same version number and the Installer2 folder is added back so that I can then uninstall the Nvidia software via Control Panel>Programs and Features.  

    Ah yeah, now you mention it, rings a bell ;)

  11. new entry

     

    [NVIDIA Install Files More*]

    LangSecRef=3024

    Detect=HKLM\Software\NVIDIA Corporation

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2\*.*

    Already included in:

     

    [**Nvidia Graphics Driver Installation Files]

    LangSecRef=3024

    Warning=You will not be able to do an uninstall of your drivers without first reinstalling them.

    Detect=HKCU\Software\NVIDIA Corporation

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%SystemDrive%\Nvidia|*.*|REMOVESELF

    FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2|*.*|RECURSE

     

    Actually, scrap that, seems that entry was removed at some point and only exists still in my winapp2 file. Presumably for good reason, though it clears a good 350Mb every Nvidia update and never caused me a problem, hence it still exists in mine.

     

  12. As long as you want to learn, you'll never stop learning. DSLRs open up all manner of new methods and possibilities. It'll be huge fun, with regular consternation, but worth every bit of it. If you enjoy photography as a hobby, it's the best purchase you'll ever make :)

    Everyone will tell you "learn to go full manual", which is utter tosh/snobbery a lot of the time (unless turning pro is your endpoint). Learn and experiment with the different modes, then once you get your head around the relationship between aperture-shutter-iso, then experiment with full manual mode if you want. But I use aperture priority 90% of the time so I can control the depth of field. Just about the only time I use manual is when doing some astrophotography as it's a must then.

    There are some great cheat sheets infographics around: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=aperture+shutter&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis-429vv_MAhVCahoKHTpuAKgQ_AUIBygB&biw=1366&bih=660#tbm=isch&q=photography+cheat+sheet

    And some great YouTube channels, these are 3 of my favourites:
