jv16 PowerTools Change Log Since b1372
Feature Improvements:
- Improved the accuracy of System Cleaner's 'Registry error relating to' feature. Previously it could list data such as 'Registry error relating to Microsoft', which doesn't really provide you any value.
- Reduced the system resources usage of the jv16 PowerTools Widget.
- Improved the accuracy of detecting the names and icons of running apps in the Dashboard and the Widget.
- Minor improvements to the overall accuracy of System Cleaner and Software Uninstaller.
- The program now opens up faster. In most systems, the difference is negligible but in systems in which the starting time has been slow, it is now up to 25% faster.
- Software Uninstaller scan now works faster, on average it now takes 30 seconds, previously with the last version it took 42 seconds.
- Some of the confirmation message boxes now show the expected answer by highlighting the default option.
- Comes with many updated translations, including Dutch, Finnish and Swedish.
Bug Fixes
- The program could display 'The ordinal 4369 could not be located in the dynamic link library' error message. This was a rare bug, only affecting specific systems. So far, we received seven reports of this issue. However, in the affected systems, this bug made it impossible to use the app.
- The program could display an 'access violation' error message when performing the System Cleaner scan.
- System Cleaner could get stuck on displaying the 'updating the results list …' at the status bar. This was a cosmetic issue, however. This message being visible did not prevent you from using the app in any ways.
- If you unselected all but one category from the System Cleaner results, the user interface could enter a loop where the results list got emptied, then updated correctly, emptied again, and so on.
- System Cleaner scan's starting screen could remain on screen for too long, incorrectly letting the user to think the scan might not be starting correctly. This was entirely a cosmetic issue.
- Installation of jv16 PowerTools didn't always create a System Restore Point.
- Scrolling the navigation panel could fail and possibly show an 'out of range' error message.
- The final screen of Software Uninstaller could have the checkboxes in wrong locations, especially if the tool is used more than one time per session.
- Clicking the Close button of System Cleaner could cause the program to display 'access violation' error message.
- The program could generate an empty file called 'jv16 PowerTools Version Checker' to its installation directory.
- Starting System Cleaner with any browsers running will cause the program to show a confirmation whether browser can be closed to allow browser data cleaning. However, if you chose 'cancel' from this confirmation box, it could cause the program to hang for a few seconds, incorrectly display the scan progress screen and only then return to the dashboard.
- Dashboard's RAM section displayed the amount of RAM available to Windows. This could be a smaller number than the actual amount of installed RAM, which caused some confusion. This is now fixed and the dashboard will now display the total amount of installed RAM.
- The text of the circular progress element in the progress screen, such as when scanning the system, could sometimes be drawn to the left side of the screen.
- Sometimes the program failed to correctly fetch the icon of a running application, causing the CPU or RAM listing areas of the Dashboard to show either a missing or incorrect icon.
- Scrolling the Dashboard's list up and down immediately after the program has started, could cause the scrolling not to be smooth and the CPU usage high for a few seconds.
