Winapp2.ini 0 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winapp2.ini 0 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWebAtom 0 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.

MrT 0 Posted January 20, 2014 Wildcard detection is only supported at the end of the path (i.e. for file and/or folder names only) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
