Where's "This app rocks!" option for GeekUninstaller?

#1 Post by Pony »

For the GeekUninstaller entry in the private database, there is only the "This app sucks!" option: where's the "This app rocks!" option?

You have already added Geek Uninstaller to your favorites, see http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.p ... Pony%5D&m=.

The "this app rocks" button is hidden for programs which are already in your favorites list.

OK, so, if I select the "This app rocks!" option, it then disappears.
BUT
I've noticed that, if I select the "This app sucks!" option, that DOESN'T disappear.

An app can rarely rock more, but it can always suck more... :D

I think this is technically a bug (or maybe a missing feature, depends on how you look at it).

The "rock" option lets you add an entry to your personal stream. The "suck" option lets you delete an entry from your personal stream.

Once deleted, the "rock" option should be enabled so that you can add the entry to your stream again in the future if you change your mind.

I will add this to my todo list.

I just checked the behaviour of this function, and it seems to work as expected.

If you have not added an app to your stream, both "Rock" and "Suck" functions are available.

Clicking on the "Rock" function adds the entry to your stream (searchable by "[Username]"), making it disappear. Now only the "Suck" function is available.

Clicking on the "Suck" function removes the entry from your stream, making both "Rock" and "Suck" functions available again.

i.e. the "Suck" function is always visible, regardless of whether the app has been added to your stream.

The "Rock" function's visibility depends on whether the app has been added to your stream.

If you have any questions about this behaviour, pls let me know.

Ultimately I think this comes down to a feature request where Andrew wants to maintain the current functionality. I can image doing a bit more with the voting system but that's far from crucial.
