Winapp2.ini Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 A recent version (I am unsure of which) added support for wildcards in the detectfile path, which is great news for everyone! Things like DetectFile=%LocalAppData%\Packages\*.coolwin8app_* are now possible...but.. If you follow the wildcard up with anything, it breaks. IE ie. Works: DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\ Doesn't Work: DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\Extensions Doesn't Work DetectFile=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*\webappsstore.sqlite winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I actually misnamed this topic because I thought it broke with just files at first, then halfway through I relized it breaks with anything after the wildcard. A mod can ammend it if they wish winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If I had to guess why... (I love writing these posts) It's probably because the Detect lines perform a simple conditional statement to establish the presence of an application. If the conditional was performed on items in directories further down the directory tree from the point of the wildcard; a recursive operation would be required. As all the Detect entries are processed on CCleaner's initial application load event, the time consuming nature of recursive scanning would have severe performance consequences. I'm Shane.

Guest MrT Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Wildcard detection is only supported at the end of the path (i.e. for file and/or folder names only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWebAtom Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm going to ignore the inference that most of my typing is utter jargon and give you a solid 'hahaha!' for the clever joke. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
