spacemarine Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 CCleaner 2.21's new OpenOffice 3.1 Cleaning support deletes the wrong file. It deletes "Common.xcu", but this does not seem to be the right one to delete as it "contains a lot of important user settings", according to a poster in the following thread: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/for...f=6&t=18588 The right file to delete seems to be "Histories.xcu". EDIT: This qualifies as a major bug, as deleting common.xcu will indeed cause loads of preferences to get lost! Please be more careful when adding new OpenOffice cleaning features in the future - there have been mistakes related to deleting "important" OpenOffice files / settings in the past already --Spacemarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papayes Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hello, I confirm that the version of CCleaner 2.21.940 deletes the Common.xcu very important file that contains the user settings (Options> OpenOffice.org> ...) The Recent Files and URLs are located in the file Histories.xcu can be cleaned with CCleaner safe. It would be nice if the next version fixes this bug. Thank you for your very excellent program that I recommend in the french forum of OOo. http://user.services.openoffice.org/fr/forum/ Best regards, papayes Anything not given is lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, we must either disable Openofice3.1 in Programs or exclude cleaning Common.xcu In french : http://user.services.openoffice.org/fr/for...?p=95837#p95837 Bye Anything not given is lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarqueRaven Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I can tell you that this bug is still current with Open Office 3.1.0 and the current version of CCleaner too. If you more exact details.. I will be happy to provide them I do have the DXdiag program loaded. I added a post on Open Office's site and was directed to this thread.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 28, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2009 Input an exclusion into CCleaner: 1. Start CCleaner. 2. Click Options->Exclude->Add File 3. Now browse to the file that needs to be excluded. CCleaner will no longer delete that file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemarine Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 The bug has been fixed in CCleaner 2.22. Now the correct file (Histories.xcu) is deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
