Jv16 Powertools 2005 Update 8.3.05

Advertisement (Why?)

A minor update released for jv16 PowerTools 2005. The updated version 1.5.0.275 contains the following changes:

The Duplicate Finder sometimes grouped the files in a wrong way, for example files of 3 KB could be in a group of 2 KB files. All the found files were still duplicates, the problem was only in the user interface
Password protection feature didn't work with certain types of passwords, it didn't let users to enter even with the correct password
The "Always ask me for a description" backup mode didn't work, instead asking the user it automatically generated the backup's description
The Registry Manager didn't open as maximized even if it was maximized when you closed it, this bug is now fixed
Added minor safety improvements to the Registry Cleaner engine
Some translations have been updated

Some users have asked why certain features of the old jv16 PowerTools 1.4.1 are not included in the jv16 PowerTools 2005 (such as the age system and the Show entries in the Registry Manager). The reason was simply staying on the schedule, almost all of the few missing features, plus tons more, will be included to the jv16 PowerTools 2005 in the future. The updates will be free for the product's licensed users.

Two new public test realms will be going live soon! These realms will give select players the chance to experience new content before it is patched to public realms. More importantly, it gives us a place to test new features and systems in a live environment without impacting the public realms. This will allow us to provide players with more frequent content patches in the future.

Moving forward, all players who have an active World of Warcraft account will be eligible to participate in testing on the test realms. However, this initial testing phase requires characters between the levels of 55 and 60 in order to properly test the content and functionality for the next patch. Email invitations have been sent out to a random set of players who meet these qualifications. Their level 55 to 60 characters have been copied to the test realm and will be waiting for them when they log in for the first time.

The version of World of Warcraft currently running on the test realms contains all the content additions, changes, and bug fixes that will be implemented to the public realms next patch. If you would like to read the details of these changes, additions, and bug fixes, please read the patch notes located here.

The goal of the public test realms is to facilitate the introduction of any game changes to a live environment. This will allow us to test, analyze, and present new content to players on a regular basis with the shortest delay possible. If you would like more information, please view our Test Realm FAQ located here. We want to thank all of the players who have been selected to test this new content, and we look forward to seeing you in game!

Gives me a real warm feeling that this product was rushed in order to get it out on schedule

Personally, I wouldn't touch this now especially seeing all the updates to it in a short period of time. Makes me wonder what damage could have been done to the Registry with the earlier versions?

You're pretty much describing every version of Windows. When Longhorn finally gets released, take time to compare what features are included and which ones Microsoft was originally going to include.

why are you trolling about longhorn here ? go somewhere else

#1.3 Matt™ on 08 Mar 2005 - 23:40

It was an example. Calm down buddy. If I wanted to troll about Longhorn, I would have been more straightforward with it, like "Longhorn sucks balls."

#2 ev0| on 08 Mar 2005 - 14:40

exactly. it's no good. It never was that good, i've personally borked my machine several times over with this thing in previous incarnations

Im sticking with powertools v1.4 for the mean time

I am, however, a fan of this app.

Thanks for the update!

#5 indiehead on 09 Mar 2005 - 10:20

i'm a fan of this too, alas since they switched to a pay-for-it scheme i've ceased to use it.

pity, still great
