Scarthy © ® ™ Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hi all ;) ,For anyone who is interested, there is a new version of JV Powertools available.The new version is v1.4 RC1.New key features include:-New main GUI - all the tools are now in the main window, right on your finger tips.-Registry Monitor - allows you to monitor what's really going on in your registry.-Registry find and replace - allows you to find and replace data directly from the registry.-File cleaner - find all the unneeded files from your computer with a one click.-Start menu cleaner - find all the broken shortcuts from your start menu.-Directory tool - allows you to do some maintenance tasks to your dirs.-Script wizard - allows you to create scripts very easily, jv16 PT's scripts allows you to do many great things.-Custom restore - allows you to see the contents of a registry backup and restore only the parts from it you want.-Option to ignore MRU list entries in the registry cleaner - MRU lists can be safely removed but there's really no point in that, the lists will be created again when the software is next time run.-Improved registry cleaner - it finds even more but is still totally safe to use.-Improved performance - major optimisations in all sections of the program makes it even faster, beta testers have seen up to 200% gains in the program's performance.-New automation features - the script engine has been almost totally rewritten, there are now over 280 script commands which can automate virtually anything you do with your computer.-CD-ROM mode - the program automatically detects if it's being run from a CD-ROM, in such case it understands not to attempt to write anything to its setting files.Release notes:-This version does not contain any graphics. The new gfx are currently under work and they will be ready for the final version.-This version contains the old documentation, new docs will be ready for the final version.-This version is time limited, you can only use it for 30 days. After that it's not possible to use the RC1 even if you uninstall it first. The program doesn't, however, leave any hidden registry entries or files behind nor does it modify the contents of your files without your permission.-Do not start to translate this version yet, there still will be some changes to the language interface.-Please understand that this is still beta stage software and it's only meant for testing purposes.Distributing:-This version can be freely distributed in any digital media as long as all the terms of the program's license agreement are met.Information and download links HERE. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snec Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I notice that it is time-limited. Do you think it's worth the risk of upsetting the current (unlimited) versions we are running or is there no risk?What does the panel think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 The older version made a right mess of my computer :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 The older version made a right mess of my computer It did mine too. It was a combination of SP1 and JV Powertools and I had to reformat. I also tried a version about 4 weeks ago, it did not even delete entries - so I sacked it !In my experience it is a good program, but has too many bugs - Why doesn't the author concentrate on a bug free good version of the software, instead of adding more bugged utilities??? :blink: I only post the links because I know alot of people are fond of it... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snec Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I use version 1.1 and have always been reluctant to move on as it works well for me. Like on another thread I've just been to when something has not uninstalled properly that's when jv16 comes in very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I always wait til the final release version.These RC1's + 2's are not fully sorted - he does warn about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted May 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 RC's are 'release candidates'...ie If they are good enough, they will become the final version. When I had the trouble with mine, I was using a final version on both occasions. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
