A couple of queries.... suggestions....

Post by ticrook » Wed Dec 14, 2005 3:13 pm

Love the new look v3.... thanks!!

A couple of queries... why have drive selection/reg key boxes moved over to the right... it looked rather odd, as so used to seeing such selections on the left of most if not all apps...???

It would also be good if you could expand the drives selection, and just choose particular folders to scan, rather tahn an entrie drive,

Incidentlly, is it possible to rearrange the column order for san results etc???

Also with plugins.. why do there seem to be entries for different version of apps, ie., Adobe Acrobat Reader 3, 4, 5, 6... surely each of these does not have its own unique records??? Can you simply not just have one instance of an application, that woujld remove all associated doc history and useage history?? Maybe even detect which you have installed, rather than a huge list containing many things which you will not have?

AU is perhaps THE best util I have tried, and I have tried many such utils... I like the way you can perform tasks quickly, with a few clicks.. as most others I have tried can require upto 10 clicks of the mouse, and many different screens before you can even execute a task. Explanations and instructions dont take up half of a screen, they are simple and concise, good enough both the novice and experienced user... I hate intrusive instructions.. once youve read them once, you know what they do!!!

It is also not cluttered with useless utilites like Organisers, Sticky Pads.. etc.. which have nothing to do with cleaning/improving the file system and registry...

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK :D

We thank you for taking the time to try Ace Utilities.

Well, once you set the options in the boxes, we assumed most of the users don't make changes that often. So, it would be better to move the drive/option boxes to the right so that the scan list area could be accessed quickly and primarily.

Junk entries can be found in many folder locations. Some users, esp. power users, may be able to locate all such folder locations, but for others it won't be that easy which led to the fact that scanning the whole drive is much better and less complicated for the user. But, we'll look into this.

No, at present columns are not rearrangable. We'll look into this.

Not all version have the same number of areas to be cleaned. Later versions of some programs *may* add more MRU sections and the like. For ex: Acrobat Reader - plugin for version 6 has more keys set to be cleaned than those in plugin for version 5. As you suggested, we'll look into the feasiblity of incorporating multiple versions into a single plugin.

I hope this reply helps.
