CCleaner and Ditto

CCleaner lists Ditto in the 'Applications' tab but does not clear the database in the program Ditto.

Hi WingNut.

Just had a close look at this.

Whilst the program is running CCleaner won't touch the database file. It won't even list it if you run an "analyze". However, once the program is closed down CCleaner will list and delete the database.

This is probably for the best as it prevents accidentally deleting something you would later need.

You would have to remember to check and uncheck the Ditto entry each and every time you either wanted to keep or delete the saved clipboard entries.

To save closing Ditto down each time you could maybe get the program itself to delete the database contents by going into "Options/General" and set the "Paste items expire after ..." entry to 1 day.

Or to have complete control set a dedicated hotkey (combination of keys?) to "delete clip data", which isn't assigned a hotkey by default ...

I think the point of Ditto is to have or save multiple clipboard entries so maybe the hotkey would be a better option than CCleaner clearing that database every time it's ran.

Hope that helps.
