anku Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 system: Win XP Pro SP3 when i click "Scan for Issues" in "Registry" Tab of CC, it lists the issues. then i have to click "Fix Selected Issues". Now the annoying part begins. 1. First a dialog box appears and asks if i want to clean one issue or all issues. 2. when i click "Fix All Issues" it asks again "Are you sure?" 3. then i have to click "OK" to close the dialog box and return to CC. why soesn't it just fix all when i click a button and don't bother me for confirmations and "all or one" stupidness? please put a new button near "Fix Selected Issues" button captioned "Just Fix All". And when i click it, it never asks anything but just fixes all. considering there hasn't been a big iprovement lately i'm sure this will be a big step for CC. thanx... regards...

Moderators hazelnut Posted February 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2009 There are plenty of ''see a button and I press it'' users out there. The registry is such a vital area I see nothing wrong in trying to make people really think about what they are doing when making a registry decision. But that's just me Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted February 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2009 You think that four clicks to clean your registry is onerous? You've probably used up five years worth of registry cleaning clicks typing your post. Use one of Homer's nodding birds (I'll get told off for awarding you the Helper Monkey prize).

No way ccleaner is fine just the way it is for confirming if you want to fix registries. I'm sure ccleaner do not want to have people complain that there computer is no longer running well because of what the registry fixing did. Besides if you don't want the confirmation just untick the option in the Advanced from ccleaner where it says "Show prompt to backup registry issues. Ofcourse if you do this it is your responsability if something were to go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Normally, when we are "advanced", we read the "advanced" directions? Try it. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse if you do this it is your responsability if something were to go wrong. that option is for just one confirmation which is "will you backup" and at first place i didn't mention it. if you guys re-read my post you see i complain about 3 confirmations: "all or one confirmation" "r u sure confirmation" "press ok to continue confirmation" developers may put options for these three prompts just as they did for "will you backup". i think this is a fair suggestion and a decent demand.

anku Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 will there be any answer about whether if there will be an update about my suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes, and I repeat go to options, advanced, and check" hide warning messages". If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yes, and I repeat go to options, advanced, and check" hide warning messages". WOW! GUNNER, Normally, when we are "advanced", we read the "advanced" directions? Try it. Just that phrase says it all very impressing phrase short and to the point. I'm impressed.

"hide warning messages" is already checked dude! sorry but it doesn't do what i asked for. you should read my posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I just reread your post and tried to duplicate your problem with the box checked and I cannot. What version are you using? Anyone else on here have that problem? If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted March 1, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2009 I think I understand what Anku means, all the apparently excessive 'Are you sure?' messages when deleting a registry entry. I get this behaviour with CC, and I don't mind it at all. will there be any answer about whether if there will be an update about my suggestion? It's fairly unusual for a suggestion to get a response from the delelopers unless it's a really spiffing idea (although I'm sure they are all read).

I get this behaviour with CC, and I don't mind it at all. It's fairly unusual for a suggestion to get a response from the delelopers unless it's a really spiffing idea (although I'm sure they are all read). if response from developers is "unusual" then it's awkward isn't it? why do they run a discussion forum with sections called "suggestions"? if developers -even though they do read all posts- don't consider the suggestions while they are developing further versions of CC then they are certainly killing the goose that lays the golden egg -as the old English men say. i everytime value software which is highly organic and customizable. IMHO, any software should be able to get customized about all its functions. if there is a confirmation box to code then it should be coded according to custmoziation priorities. CC has 3 dialog boxes redundantly appears anmd prompts the user for redundant mouse clicks. leting 3 more clicks to be would be a fatal mistake regarding highly competitive open source / freeware software scene. best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted March 3, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 3, 2009 This thread is going nowhere. You have been made aware of the fact that the devs read the suggestions but don't often comment on them. If they feel the suggestion is something they wish to impliment they will do so.
