[This new update sucks!]

There are many threads about this.

 

Mods: some sort of merger and sticky? It's getting excessive

 

Yeah well what do you expect.  A lot of people are pissed.

[Give an option for the old GUI (this is the sole topic for requesting the old GUI)]

The product mentioned has a PC version. This is an official company website and I was following a long held set-in-stone forum rule about competitive software. I only censored the section talking about it, to insinuate otherwise is an unfounded insult.

 

 

I've mentioned it elsewhere in these forums (without the link) and there didn't seem to be any problem. 

 

And?

 

I'm not going to get into an argument with you about it, because my point was to say that one "is going to switch to linux" over a GUI issue is a monomer and that most linux-flavored-OS are either de-chroming or never went chrome in the first place because, when Windows went areo many ran to Chromeless Linux based systems

 

 

CCleaner is a Windows/Mac only program.  There's no Linux equlivent for it, except for that program (who's name you censored eariler) which has a palatable GUI for many people out there.  It seems to look fine no matter what OS it's on.  It also handles DOM storage cleaning for Firefox and Chrome in a way that CCleaner doesn't.  That can also be important, so I don't know why piriform is dragging it's feet on that particular issue instead of FUBARing with the GUI.

 

That's the kind of under-the-hood change is what I would welcome and I know they can do it.

[Give an option for the old GUI (this is the sole topic for requesting the old GUI)]

Too bad about the censorship around here.  I maybe shouldn't have posted a link (and I have no vested interest in them) but you didn't need to censor the rest.

 

Oh and Linux is beyond being called just a kernel anymore.  Seems I'm not the only one behind the times.

[RFE: Option to purge DOM Storage (for all web browsers)]

Basically you have to compromise with IE.  Make sure the "enable DOM storage" box is ticked (so the websies will render properly), then add that setting VanguardLH mentioned in CCleaner and periodically clean it out.  Not an ideal solution since I'd want it disabled all the time, but there you have it.

 

That said, this option should also be added to CCleaner for both Firefox and Chrome since disabling DOM storage in those browsers also makes certain websites both unreadable and unusable.  Any solutions for that?

[Give an option for the old GUI (this is the sole topic for requesting the old GUI)]

Granted I was looking at it in win 8.1but, to those still on XP or vista or 7, windows has moved on from tablet/notebook killing skeuomorphic design , not only that but nearly every major GUI development (apple, android) have chosen the same direction. I have to agree with twistedmetal's assessment that version 3 of ccleaner also had a gui push-back, but I personally feel some of these GUI hating threads contain some posters who are being melodramatic about it.

Considering there are far more Windows 7 users out there than there are Windows 8, I disagree. The current GUI needs work, big time. Not necessarily going back to 4.18, but not the dramatic eyesore that's currently there right now. That white bar on the top is hideous and the whole dumbing-down tinker-toy look leaves a lot to be desired.These are ligitimate complaints I read here, not mass hysteria.

 

My finger is on the button though to go to Linux if Win 10 MS does not lift their game.

[Moderated for non-piriform product promotion DO NOT EDIT]

[Give an option for the old GUI (this is the sole topic for requesting the old GUI)]

I downloaded the portable version to see if 5.01.5075 made any GUI improvements and it still looks the same.  I guess they don't want to hear from us since they locked the other thread.

[CCleaner 5.0 beta GUI]

Well if they do not go back to the old UI than I will be moving to something like Bleachbit which is an opensource plain jane cleaner that is still better than this awful UI.

 

Thanks for the Bleachbit tip.  I may use it in the future, although I'm not ready to give up on Piriform just yet since I'll wait and see how they respond to this graphical FUBAR in future updates.  But it's always good to know it's there.

[CCleaner 5.0 beta GUI]

I do a lot of manual cleans and after a couple of days, I reverted back to v4 because I couldn't stand looking at v5 anymore. 

 

A travesty in GUI design. The worst I've seen in a long time.

 

[CCleaner 5.0 beta GUI]

I would suggest an option 3) the user has the choice to find another piece of software to perform the same function.

 

 

In other words, don't complain folks.  Just keep your mouth shut and pretend it never happened.

 

Don't think so...

 

 

No need for that (it also breaks licensing) official old versions are downloadable at filehippo

 

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll be sure to turn the auto-updater off for now. 

 

I'm not necessarily saying go back to the old GUI (I know it needs to be modernized) but the one that's here for now needs some work, big time. Especially that hideous white bar at the top.  And add some more color overall to it.  Maybe even some 3-D effects.

[Give an option for the old GUI (this is the sole topic for requesting the old GUI)]

Wow, this GUI sucks, big time!  This Windoze 8 Metro tile look looks like a little kid designed it.  Talk about a tinker toy!

 

I'm still on Windows 7 (as most people in the world are) and this thing sticks out like a sore thumb.  I'm almost tempted to revert back to the previous version so I won't have to look at it.

[Optimization of SSD]

titanium, since you can't get a straight answer here, it's probably best to avoid this piece of software when using an SSD.  As some others have said, it's bad news using defrag on an SSD and I've had mine permanently disabled since I bought my first machine with an SSD on it.

 

Hopefully defraging drives will become a thing of the past in the next few years as new file systems and behaviors will develop.

[How can I get the old icons back?]

More rude is arriving as a stranger and asking for help and saying it will be most appreciated,

and subsequently complaining of rudeness when advised of your mistaken assumptions.

And I'm really trying to be polite here, but it's tough with people like you. Maybe you should go bully somebody else.

 

I do appreciate what Andavari and kroozer had to say. Thank you.

[How can I get the old icons back?]

there is no "you", we don't work for or personally know the development team.

Gee, ya know that was a bit rude.

 

I also didn't mean "you" to anybody personally, but in the third person tense addressing nobody specifically. If English isn't your native language then that's perfectly understandable.

 

Also I didn't know the development didn't inhabit these forums (unlike many others) at any time. Good to know for those who aren't here very often.

[How can I get the old icons back?]

That's what I'm looking for, thanks.

 

Just a suggestion but maybe you can include it in your next version for those who want to change their shortcut icon to the old one on the desktop. Yes?

[How can I get the old icons back?]

I just upgraded to the new version and while it might look great in Windows 8, I'm still using Windows 7 and they don't have the shadings around the big "C" and the whisk broom, making it look like it doesn't match the rest of the desktop.

 

Any way of getting a copy of the old desktop icon back?

 

I can at least save it in the Program file by itself, or have the shortcut icon saved in %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll along with the rest of the ones that I change back to.

 

A small detail but any help would be most appreciated, thanks

[I'd like to see this change]

+++1

 

Absolutely! And when it gets over 1024mb, then auto convert it to GB.

 

Looking at something like 5,698,852 kb (in the millions) is ridiculous.

 

Ya hear that, developers?

 

Thanks.

[I'd like to see this change]

How about changing the file measurement from kilobytes (KB) to megabytes (MB) in the Cleaner section?

 

Or at least give us the option to change it?

 

It's already MB in the Tools section. Besides, who the hell uses KBs unless it's under 1MB anyway...

For chrome look for and remove any and all of the following from your machine

Sorry, I'm not quite understanding you.

 

You mean I need to go into the registry and look for every instance of Chrome?

 

for anyother program get winapp.ini (by running

"C:\program files\ccleaner\ccleaner.exe" /export

with the quotes (replace c:\program files\ccleaner\ with whereever your ccleaner is installed/located

look through that file for any other programs you are detecting that are no longer installed and remove (from your computer) the files and/or regkeys listed for detect.

Sorry, not sure what you mean here, either.

[Deleting applications from the Applications Tab]

Hello,

 

I deleted Google Chrome off my machine some time ago but I notice that it's still listed over to the left under the Cleaner button under the Applications Tab with all it's associated check boxes.

 

The software is no longer on my machine yet CCleaner still detects it as still being there. How do I get rid of it so that it doesn't appear in the menu?

 

Thanks
