Hey first off I want to Thank the developers for a great app
Just wanted to make a suggestion I feel that a feature that enables users to clear data of a specified time period would be very useful. I am suggesting sumtin similar to mozilla firefox's clear recent history feature avilable in version 3.5.3 wherein one can choose the time range of history to clear with time ranges such as an hr,2hrs,4 hrs,a day and everything
I am open to every1s views on this, guys please tell me whether u think this feature is practical, doable and whether u think its useful
Thanks in advance guys

Hi Gulshroff
Are you talking about all of the files that ccleaner deals with - or just browser stuff?
If you mean 'everything' then I think it's potentially a good thing to want to be able to do, but despite not being particularly technically difficult I'm not sure how practical it would be to implement. For example, if I were to take advantage of such functionality, I'd probably want to keep some log files for a week, but I'd be happy to lose everything else. After all, by definition most of the things ccleaner gets rid of are unwanted. Unless you can specify retention periods on individual items (very awkward and cumbersome to implement elegantly), I think you'd almost always end up with an ill-fitting compromise. So from that point of view, I guess I'm happy with ccleaner as it is. Horses for courses really isn't it ... other people might find it really useful.

If they can find an aesthetically pleasing and functional way of doing that then it would be an interesting addition for some.
