Mozilla and more

Mozilla support and support for basically anything will be added. But NOT in Clean-Up Manager.

I've made/making a BeOS Clean-Up Manager replacement app (I'm not telling the name yet) which uses plugins so that u can make it clean anything and everything u dont find useful.

The plugins and cleaning part for this app is done. Preview is NOT done. Maybe i should release it without preview and add preview in a later release. Also preferences is not done. And the cleaning-up part is a hint slower than the current Clean-Up Manager.

So ... ?


Support Mozilla

Hi! :)
I'd like to know, if you think add Mozilla support?
BeOS Clean-Up offer to clean up NetPositive (cache, cookies, cookie logs, history etc ) and Opera (cache, cookies, global history, visited links etc) but not Mozilla which is the most modern...
Thanks :)

Now i don't understand

I'm confused with what u said. You mean to say clean-up manager does not work in common beos (or some option in it) but works in dano?

And there is no reason why it should not work in dano because it has nothing to do with networking. Dano has new networking (bone) then media kit changes + some. Clean-Up Manager uses basic interface API and storage kit API and there is no reason why it should not work in dano.

I'm still confused what exactly u meant.. oh well, the clean-up manager replacement app has really progressed well and there is no looking back for me now.

No, I didn't mean that

Sorry, it is true that I don´t undertand, but I was trying to say is that your app works on DANO. It works for me in DANO, it cleans and empties the trash. So I was suggesting that instead of making whatever work needed, you could take a look and see why it works on DANO and not in common BeOS. I mentioned BONE because I have BONE on my BeOS 5.0.3, so whatever it is that makes Clean up works on DANO, it is not because of BONE. That´s all.

huh??

I don't think u have understood what i said...

I have begun to rebuild the clean-up manager totally because of a very fundamental threading problem. The code for the GUI will mostly be copied but not the threading (the cleaning and other processing).

And because this is the major part of Clean-Up Manager, i thot i might make it plugin based (that is text files will have the options).

What has this to do with DANO and BONE!!?!! And btw, the problem with cleaning the trash is because of a typo-error in the code thats all.


I don't think i understood what u suggested about DANO and BONE.. Clean-Up Manager has nothing to do with DANO/BONE.

Shall I make a suggestion?

Well, I have no idea about programming, but I have observed something. One of the computers was unable to load BeOS even with the "disable IDE permanently" trick from betips. I put BONE in order to install (once more) snortmonitor, and I saw a line while installing saying "kernel". I tried after this (BONE seems to touch the kernel) e voilá, the trick works!. BeOS 5.0.3 with BONE cannot print. But DANO has BONE and it poens the print option, why does not anyone guess why and correct it?. If the Clean up manager does empties the trash in DANO (it does) why don't you start from that, instead of beginning rebuilding?.

Next version

Well there isn't anything about scripts. The next version will not hardcode any items like NetPositive.. All the items will be in the form of text files (plugin like) which means you can change, add, delete, rename and all the other things you can think of...

Eg, heres an example of the plugin for Trash:

;; Trash plugin

[Trash]
TYPE=linear
CHECK INSTALL OF=

[Trashed items]
FOLDER=/boot/home/Desktop/Trash/
EXCLUDE FILE=



And these plugins will be loaded by the GUI, and yes the GUI will be as consistent and responsive as possible :)

Were looking forward to hearing from the new version =)

no, it does not matter that much, regarding to me, I will wait. I like this app a lot, and it is quite practical. I need some time for undertsnading your answer (all that affair of scripts), so whatever the next version would be, I hpe finding a good GUI, as good as the current one. It is so rich in features.... Do I said i like it a lot?

Something strange ... yes :(

You are dead right about the cleaning of Trash without it being checked.. (the reason?? I had to use that damned CTRL+V (paste) operation in the code editor and i forgot to change chkBashHistory to chkTrash) yes i know its silly but it happens and is an embarassing bug :(

And about fixing it, yes its done but i haven't released the latest version due to a no of other reasons, one being the deceptively buggy threading (hmm ?? yes, the code still contains some theoritical bugs and some MAJOR flaws which actually results in INEFFICIENCY tho not exactly a bug)..

So I've started rewriting BeOS Clean-Up Manager as a completely new app, with a new name with plugin-capability. This means once the new app is out, its meant as a replacement for the Clean-Up Manager. And because it will be plugin-based it will solve the problem of clearing Mozilla's stuff etc. In fact you can even make plugins (just text files :) to clear stuff like logs from apps like Beshare, bowser etc. So far only parsing of the plugins and storing them in an internal structure is finished. The next part is generating controls (checkboxes mixed with tree structures) and implementing saving of these options...


So till, then live with the bug OR come to beshare and ask me for the latest version of beos clean-up manager which clears the bug but has a few other minor rare to find glitches.

something strange

I do not know why this happes, or what it could be causing it. but i have realized that even with the V checked about emptying trash, my clean up manager does not empty it. It is strange, because it works on DANO, and it empties the trash there. That could be a bug or something, I have no idea. Appart from that, it would be great to see it ready for Mozilla, that could go in the next version. =) I love this app.

little suggestion

The only sugg I can think now about this app is some kind of Be-buttom-integration, meaning that you can use clean-up manager from the apps folder dor instance. I am one of those who uses this ap after browsing, so a buttom in the opera bar would be welcome from me.

watch for 3.3
 By Ram - Posted on April 22, 2002 - 23:43:48   (#1099)
 Current version when comment was posted: 3.1
Well, 3.1 was a good step forward but some ppl. back at BeShare keep their suggestions coming in one of which was a "Preview" mode.

3.3 will also has several bug fixes especially race conditions. 3.3 also has a new about box :P

Anyway, 3.3 is probably the most 'theoritically' stable version but the clean-up process has been slowed down by a few milliseconds tho :(

Since there is a slight slowdown in the clean-up i've not yet released this and i'm trying to make it faster... Anyway, I'll release it soon, and if u've got any suggestions post it to me soon either tru e-mail or find me at beshare.

3.1 IS GREAT!!!!!!
 By IgRussell - Posted on April 21, 2002 - 06:14:50   (#1061)
 Current version when comment was posted: 3.1
Since I started here, the Clean up Manager has been a must have for me. I installed a Dano last night and I tried this new version. I couldn´t believe it. It is way past faster, smoother, really plenty of options. You can shut it automatically and so, but there are more options than the usual cookie cleaning, just like the possibility of deleting logs, or even saving them if your are not sure. You even have a group of options configured so you can choose a safe way!!!!. It is a really great app!!!.

ImageButton class included for developers
 By Ram - Posted on February 24, 2002 - 03:43:07   (#427)

I managed to cook up a nifty (improvable) ImageButton class (the one used in Clean-Up Manager's toolbar).

I forgot to include it in the version's feature list... Anyway, hope you find it useful.
