Every few weeks there is a new version of CCleaner. I have to leave the app, go to piriforms site, download it, save it, and install it (while unchecking the boxes I don't want).
Some programs can update within their programs (Filezilla, etc.) or have a definition update or something different.
Thanks!
This is frequently suggested but will likely never be implemented.
It should be implemented in nearest future and I see this suggestion as quite important for CCleaners developers.
Why?
It's one of the best services a provider can offer their userbase in make things easier when updating software.
To not develop and include this with the software may only sending an signal out to the users that 'we don't know how to handle this issue', perhaps someone thinks..Do they know how to code a program? or can I trust this software?
Summary, it's a good opportunity in show these people were wrong and the program are one of the best.
So, can it be taken for consideration?
Ps. They will check the website now and then anyway
I've registered to this forum only to say that i really support this change to CCleaner, there are too many updates with a too high frequency for ignoring the possibility of an auto-update feature that any other software alredy has. I've 3 pc in my home, and updating ccleaner and defraggler every time i boot up them is becoming really annoying.
The devs read all the suggestions guys, and will undoubtedly take it into consideration.
As to what gets implemented or when, we aren't privvy to unfortunately.
I think updates are pushed every month or so.
I'd like a new update system but I don't mind the prevailing one at the moment.
The reason for an update is "better performance",
which means it will clean a bit more junk than the previous version.
Sometimes one man's poison is another man's meat,
and some people regret and complain here about losing important files after an update and eager run without observing the extra check boxes that by default are active .
There will be a lot more whinging if CCleaner auto-updates and trashes a system without warning or opportunity to back up the last month's work.
Maybe, not an auto-update but a direct download link right from the client would be nice?
Automated updating upon program start without the hazzle of waiting for the web browser to open and manualy downloding and running the installer file would be greatly appreciated. There should off course be a confirmation required (if not optionaly dissabled).
If the catch is that Piriform wants their home site to be visited now and then i suggest that a news/ads window shows upp during the update process linking to the site.
I think you just hit the spot.. They have to make money..
I joined the forums here just to add my +1 to the auto-updates suggestion. I use Ccleaner and Defraggler a lot, and they are the only programs I use regularly that don't auto-update! Please add this feature. I don't mind seeing an ad while it checks for updates (or some other unobtrusive way you can make money from the free version).
My other suggestion is to make a main interface that includes Ccleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, and Speccy. They don't need to be separate programs. As a single program one could also have a single click routine that runs ccleaner, then fixes the registry, then defragments the drive, then shutsdown the computer.
Cheers,
Dave
I sort of like the way it is right now. That link in the bottom right corner opens up the update site, and congratulates me for having "the very latest version". Same for Speccy.
I think ?? that the new versions just install right over the earlier ones, so no delay there. If thats wrong just jump right in and correct me.
I don't much care for softwares that phone out before I tell'em to, but that's just me.
