Opera 11 Portable not in the list

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi All,

I have just started using Opera 11 installed in it's Portable mode. It is in it's own Folder on Drive D: a Partition of the main hard disk D:\OperaPortable so not really Portable. I installed it there as it keeps all of the files in a single Folder structure and makes for easy email backups as I am also using the Mail extension.

How can I point CCLeaner to clear out the appropriate browser files when I run CC?

I have done some searching and reading here and there is no winapp.ini file in the CC installation folder. I have been reading about winapp2.ini but not sure how to define the portable Opera installation.

Can someone please assist me with this?

Thanks

Harry

OK, I got a little brave and decided to create a modified version of winapp2.ini I found here and bingo, it is all good.

Here's what I did so others may use it. Some of the file names are changed from the winapp2.ini version I found here but it has cleared History, Cookies and all Cache so I am a happy camper.

[Opera 11 (Portable)]

LangSecRef=3022

DetectFile=D:\OperaPortable\Opera.exe

Default=True

FileKey1=D:\OperaPortable\profile|cookies4.dat

FileKey2=D:\OperaPortable\profile|global_history.dat

FileKey3=D:\OperaPortable\profile|vlink4.dat

FileKey4=D:\OperaPortable\profile\cache|*.*

FileKey5=D:\OperaPortable\profile\opcache|*.*

this is unnecessary as of the latest version of ccleaner

Added support for Opera Portable.

e.g. CustomLocation1=OPERA|T:\OperaPortable\Data\profile

Thanks for that.

OK, problem? Some of the files are defned specifically and others are entire Folders to be cleared.

Do I just use this part of winapp2.ini and rename it CCleaner.ini ??

CustomLocation1=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile|cookies4.dat

CustomLocation2=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile|global_history.dat

CustomLocation3=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile|vlink4.dat

CustomLocation4=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\cache

CustomLocation5=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\opcache

The first three are individual files within the "Profile" Folder as I do not want the entire Profile Folder to be cleared. The last two are folders that do need to be fully cleared.

Also, in those first three, do I change the second Pipe ("|") to a backslash ("\")?

CustomLocation1=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\cookies4.dat

CustomLocation2=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\global_history.dat

CustomLocation3=OPERA|D:\OperaPortable\profile\vlink4.dat

Fiinally, your example shows an equals ("=") and the KB examples show spaces. Which is it?

It should be:

CustomLocation1=OPERA|T:\OperaPortable\Data\profile

and not spaces (we will fix the documentation).

You just have to specify the location of the Profile folder. CCleaner will clean files and sub-folders for you.

Just to round off what MrT said, the customlocaiton only needs to point to the profile (i.e. only once for each program), not each item. The program will take it from there.
