UltraEdit (64-bit)

What's new in this version:

jv16 PowerTools 5.0.0.697
Fixes:
- Bug fix: Uninstalling software can cause the Windows user interface (explorer.exe) to be terminated. This is by design. However, after the uninstallation, it should be restarted again. Bug mainly affects Windows 8
- Bug fix: If you use the Results Search feature within Find All, the blue category bars with the number of found items are not updated to reflect what is currently on screen. Instead, the number of items in each category remains the same as if no Results Search is not used at all. This only affects the number of results reported, the actual searching of results is working correctly
- Bug fix: You cannot use Ctrl + A to select all the text in the Software Uninstaller > Uninstall Software screen
- Bug fix: In some systems, the automatic detection of Whitelisted Domains to be listed in Settings > System Cleaner does not work, and no domains are listed
- Bug fix: Software Uninstaller can incorrectly list some software twice, with and without a version number in the program's name
- Bug fix: Find All's group captions are not correctly capitalized. For example, file paths can be incorrectly starting with a non capital drive letter
- Bug fix: The default sort of Software Uninstaller is incorrect
- Bug fix: System Cleaner can incorrectly say some Windows application shortcuts, such as the Snipping Tool, are broken and not working, even if they are working. This bug is rare, we were not able to even reproduce it but nevertheless, it is now fixed
- Bug fix: Restoring a backup with the Backup tool can cause Windows RegEdit.exe error message to show up
- Bug fix: The bottom status bar texts in the main window are not always correctly positioned (not centered)
- Bug fix: Some parts of the user interface cannot be translated because the texts are missing from the translation file (English.lng
- Bug fix: Applying filters in System Cleaner, Software Uninstaller or Find All result screens does not hide the filter panel while the screen updates
- Bug fix: System Cleaner's progress screen can display a number of errors founds to be larger than actually listed in the result screen. This is a cosmetic bug, caused by the scan progress screen counting all found items, and the final result listing containing only items without any duplicate data and without results matching the user defined ignore lists
- Bug fix: Find All's result list processing will become very slow with a lot of data (10000+ rows) and the counts, such as the number of items on screen, can be inaccurate
- Bug fix: If you use the Settings window to hide Find All from the home screen, and then re-enable it again, the Find All box is incorrectly positioned in the home screen
- Bug fix: Uninstalling software with the Software Uninstaller can get stuck to long periods of time (30 minutes+) when uninstalling certain software. This only happens in some cases, and with some software
- Bug fix: System Cleaner's result screen always contains a long English text, even if you are using the program in another language
- Bug fix: The scan progress screen can display a cosmetic mistake by showing hkey_local_machinesomekey - (full key). The trailing character is incorrect here
- Bug fix: Even if you list the installation directory of software in the Settings > Ignore List, under some rare cases, the Software Uninstaller can still list the software. This does not occur if you also list the software's name in the Ignore List

Improvements:
- The program now starts a lot faster. On average, the previous build took 11 seconds to fully start, this version takes on average only 4 seconds
- Greatly improved the speed of uninstalling software with the Software Uninstaller
- Greatly improved the performance of Results Search and the result list filtering features when dealing with lists with a lot of data

- Improved Software Uninstaller's ability to delete locked and otherwise write protected data
- Improved the progress reporting of uninstalling software
- Improved System Cleaner's ability to find more leftovers from old software
- Improved System Cleaner's detection of which registry data is relating to which installed software or left-over software. This will make the analysis of the results list a lot easier when you can see what is relating to which software
- Improved the speed of System Cleaner scan
- It's not meaningful to display the number of issues found during the System Cleaner scan because the number is not final before the final post processing phase, which takes two seconds just before the scan completes. The previous versions showed the number of possibly found issues, but this is not accurate and could lead to confusion with users. Therefore, this is no longer shown
- Improved the user interface after you click the Uninstall button in the Software Uninstaller. Before, you saw a progress animation. Now you see an actual progress bar
- Starting to type in the home screen now automatically moves to focus to Find All, allowing you to start a Find All search without first having to click its search box to become active
- Ctrl + A in the home screen will now select everything in the Find All's search box
- The main program window now starts with less visual flickering and elements moving around immediately after the window becomes visible
- The program will now display a message on its main window if a new version is available for download. Before, user would have to use the Help > Check For Updates to see this information
- Improved the accuracy of the progress reporting, especially when cleaning the system with System Cleaner and uninstalling software with Software Uninstaller
- The installation file of the program is now better in detecting and closing any instance of jv16 PowerTools, to ensure a smoother update process


jv16 PowerTools 5.0.0.675
We originally released build 668 yesterday. It had passed all our quality control tests and all seemed good. However, there were three annoying bugs:
- Many parts of the user interface show in English, even if user is using a translation. This happens only on certain tools or pages inside the program, such as in My Account
- Using the new Results Search features in System Cleaner can cause it to go into an eternal loop where the screen blinks or flickers with text "adding data to screen"
- Using the System Cleaner's Right Click Menu option to ignore result rows can cause the program to show an error message about Access Violation and close
- This build fixes these unfortunate bugs that were in the build 668. I would like to apologize for this problem - we spent hours upon hours in testing, yet we failed to notice these bugs. It's embarrassing and I apologize

- Bug fix: Saving a results list from File > Save List as produces a file without any file extension if you only write a filename without file extension
- Bug fix: Uninstalling certain software, such as CDBurnerXP, can cause the Software Uninstaller to get stuck and never complete. This only occurs with some systems, and with some software being uninstalled
- Bug fix: Pressing Ctrl + A to select all the items of System Cleaner, Software Uninstaller or Find All results may trigger the result list filter update to run again. This is a cosmetic issue but nevertheless, annoying and now fixed

Improvements:
- New Feature: Software Uninstaller now shows the size of each installed software, their installation date and as an unique feature, the impact each installed software has on your system's performance

jv16 PowerTools 5.0.0.527
Bug Fixes:
-The previous version fixed the problem about Firefox bookmarks being modified or removed during System Cleaner. The original bug was rare, only occurring in some systems. The last version fixed it for many users but not perfectly. This build now fixes it for good

-The Initial Setup can take a very long time to run on some systems
-Tools menu > Maintenance > Flush Cache does not trigger the Initial Setup to run again, even if it says it would

Now, the program will detect if such cache files are missing and perform an Initial Setup again if needed
- Increased the waiting thresholds of information messages in the application to avoid too many tips or other non essential message boxes to be displayed in too rapid progression
- All the three main tool text captions are now visible. Before, only the default tool or the currently selected tool caption text was visible, which some users found difficult to use

- Improved the scan progress screen’s user interface smoothness. It should now show and update with far less element sizes being changed for no reason
- The Settings window’s Domain Whitelist and Global Ignore List features now automatically remove unneeded rows of data. For example, if you would enter “jv16 PowerTools” and “jv16” to the Global Ignore List, the row “jv16 PowerTools” would be automatically removed as it is already included in the row “jv16”
- Some users have been confused by the Invalid Metadata errors found by the System Cleaner, thinking that such error means that the file mentioned would be deleted by the System Cleaner. This is not the case. For example, if the System Cleaner reports that Explorer.exe has invalid metadata, it does not mean the file would be deleted. Instead, the System Cleaner would only fix its invalid metadata from the file system record
- Improved VPN and firewall and internet security software detection
- Internet Optimizer now refuses to start if the system is using local network based DNS to prevent any compatibility issues, for example with locally run network solution, VPNs, internet security software or locally run servers
