vemo Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hello, I have a suggestion for CCleaner, and that is that it will have the feature to check things from the scanned items' list. Because when you scan in the main "Cleaner"-window, you just see the things that are found, you can't choose what to remove. In that case, you have to uncheck/check the items in the list to the left, and then rescan, which might waste some unnecessary time. Kind regards, Vemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 - - you can't choose what to remove. - - Yes, you can. Right click on the item and select clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vemo Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yes, you can. Right click on the item and select clean. Ok, thanks for the tip, but I'm suggesting a better way; using check boxes. Otherwise you have to right-click every item which, in my opinion, is less handy. ^^ Vemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 8, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2010 Ok, thanks for the tip, but I'm suggesting a better way; using check boxes. Welcome to the forums! Sounds like a good feature actually! Who knows how the dev team would implement such a thing though like your check boxes preference, or something already built into Windows like highlighting what to remove with Alt+A ("to select all") or Alt+A+Click (to deselect a single item).

Moderators Nergal Posted October 8, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 8, 2010 Wait so are you suggesting that for the cleaner section you have something like is there for registry? not so sure that'd work what with the fact that there can be thousands of internet cache alone for instance I just booted my computer, this is the only page i've been to and I already have 914 temporary internet files most people don't understand t.i.f.s enough to know that they are all ok to delete and so they'd be going through a checking each one. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

No, all the temp files are grouped under one... so from the 'results' you can check everything you want to remove. For example, everything except the 'Recycle Bin'. Simplicity is hard.

Hello, Thanks for welcoming me, and thanks for the support! It shouldn't be too hard to implement. It's no rocket science, really Wait so are you suggesting that for the cleaner section you have something like is there for registry? not so sure that'd work what with the fact that there can be thousands of internet cache alone for instance I just booted my computer, this is the only page i've been to and I already have 914 temporary internet files most people don't understand t.i.f.s enough to know that they are all ok to delete and so they'd be going through a checking each one. As ishan_rulz said: No, all the temp files are grouped under one... so from the 'results' you can check everything you want to remove. For example, everything except the 'Recycle Bin'. So that won't be a problem, because I mean every group, not every single file hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 9, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 9, 2010 So that won't be a problem, because I mean every group, not every single file hehe So isn't that already available by not checking the boxes (which are already available) in the first place? i.e. if you don't want recyclebin just uncheck it before you analysis and/or clean. I'm not trying to be a nay-sayer just trying to wrap m'head around this idea. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

I'm not trying to be a nay-sayer just trying to wrap m'head around this idea. Yes, that's one possibility, but I'm suggesting a feature that allows you to check boxes after scan as well, not only before. Let's say I'm scanning all items. It takes like 40 seconds. Then I realize "Oh, I don't want to remove Google Chrome passwords.". In that case with this current version, I'd have to uncheck it in the menu to the left, and then rescan, wasting another 40 secs.

mr don Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 After trying to conceive what he wanted, I think I have the answer. Although technically you can uncheck an item after a scan, then rescan, he must be wanting a "live" checkbox. That is, CCleaner updates the information on the fly. You can uncheck or check items while CCleaner is cleaning instead of wasting the time to do another scan. This might, however, be a little tricky to achieve.

Moderators Andavari Posted October 24, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2010 Shouldn't be too tricky I'd think since it could have 'Run Cleaner' greyed out until after 'Analyze' is ran, like how the registry cleaner works in CCleaner.

It should not be too complicated, as mentioned. Programming is not really limited in what you can create. ^^ But, still it's just a suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted October 24, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2010 Whilst waiting for this to be implemented you could of course run Anaylse, then uncheck the boxes on the left that you don't want to clean, and just run Clean without the second Analyse. CC probably does an internal analyse anyway, but it would save one click and a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
