Re: DriveCleanup
Apparently, DriveCleanup is a CLI tool -- should it be in the database?
Re: DriveCleanup
Another update, another question that goes unanswered... http://www.portablefreeware.com/faq.php#six
Re: DriveCleanup
3rd time might be the charm: let me ask again, should DriveCleanup be in the database, in view of it clearly being against site rules?
See https://www.portablefreeware.com/faq.php#six for the reason.
Without any hint of personal animosity, I motion for the database entry to be made private and this topic be moved to "Resource & Links"...

Let it be known Urbi et Orbi : Verily, verily, I say unto thee - 3rd time's the charm indeed, ... my son.

Re: DriveCleanup
I think this one is an exception to the CLI rule because there's really no "interface" to speak of. You run the program, it does a few things and then self-destructs. It just so happens that the output is displayed in a CLI window. There's no typing in commands, which I believe is the essence of why Andrew set that policy that at the site's inception.Midas wrote:3rd time might be the charm: let me ask again, should DriveCleanup be in the database, in view of it clearly being against site rules?
I'm sorry it took so many for me to notice this and reply. I have no idea how this one slipped by me.

Re: DriveCleanup
Mind you, DriveCleanup can definitely be run on its own, yet there are quite a few optional parameters allowed for this CLI utility :webfork wrote:..

Re: DriveCleanup
I am OK with it getting voted into the DB, as long as enough people find it useful.
For example, TestDisk is arguably a CLI (or console) app, but is also in the DB.

Re: DriveCleanup
BTW,
The current "Security - Privacy Tool" category might not be the most appropriate classification for this DriveCleanup utility
dedicated to cleanse USB devices tree and related Registry keys.
Instead, wouldn't "System - Disk Cleaners" or "System - Registry" be possibly more pertinent ?

Re: DriveCleanup
Having the reasons for DriveCleanup inclusion publicly stated, my pickle here is thoroughly chewed and I'm happy to stand down...
