  • Application window stays minimized with dual monitors, Windows 10, BleachBit 3

    Application window stays minimized with dual monitors, Windows 10, BleachBit 3

    On Win10, BB 3.0 will sometimes stay minimised in the task bar and cannot be restored to a normal window. (a) Sometimes this happens if I close BB when the window is open on one monitor and then open BB later in a different multi-monitor configuration. (b) Sometimes this happens when I maximise the BB window on a monitor that is not the primary monitor and then minimise the window; I can't restore the window and have to kill the process.

    I have reverted to BB 2.2

  • Freeze with preview or cleaning of Steam games (via Winapp2.ini)

    Freeze with preview or cleaning of Steam games (via Winapp2.ini)

    This issue occurs on a Windows 10 laptop running BleachBit 1.12. This has been happening for awhile, but I thought it was an issue with the Winapp2.ini so I didn't report it. Then I realized it shouldn't matter what's in the file, it still shouldn't crash, heh.

    It should be noted I can't duplicate this on systems without Steam, Origin, etc. So it has to be an issue with deleting things that are there because if they aren't there it runs fine.

    I can run all of the other options in BleachBit, but if I choose any of the options within the games category, the crash happens the second the games category starts cleaning.

    The only thing I can do to clean my system is uncheck the games category.

    I'm not really sure what other information I can give, so if you need anything else please let me know. I have included the log file here.

    bleachbit.exe.log

    UPDATE: This issue occurs on Windows 10 regardless of version, and occurs on BleachBit 1.12 and the latest commit built from GitHub.

    The issue is with the "Steam Games", "Steam Installers", and "Steam Logs" entries.

    Those entries contain these values:

    Improve unit tests

    For an eventual py3-transition we need better unit test coverage.

    What's planned / done:

    • [X] Introduce a custom base class with better tempfile handling and asserts
    • [ ] Convert asserts / tempfile creation to use the class
    • [x] Convert asserts from self.assert_ to more meaningful asserts (especially self.assert_(isinstance(...))
    • [ ] test for unicode / bytes explicitly

    Some cleaner take long to "load" at start, when option "only needed" is checked ("Vuze Case") My English... :-D

    OK, I have now the "Vuze Case" also on BiglyBT and on my Windows Cleaner...

    Is it really sure, that the check stops, after the first file, the cleaner finds ???

    Can you display a bit more what the cleaner do in console for debugging ???

    Whats about the case, I cleaned e.g. Vuze immediately before, then the cleaner can't find anything and have to run to the end, right?

    Is maybe a < Detect >-Rule a solution for such scanners that have to scan a big amount of files ???

    Bleachbit 4 doesn't start in Windows 10 (slow start without feedback to user)

    I recently tested Bleachbit 4 in Windows 10, but it didn't start at all. I believe I had the latest version; I installed it within the past 48 hours, unless you've updated Bleachbit within that time frame. In case it becomes important, I was running Windows 10 version 1909.

    I do see a bleachbit.exe process in Task Manager, but no Bleachbit window opens. Running bleachbit_console.exe just opens a blank black window that does nothing. Bleachbit 2.0 ran just fine on the same installation of Windows, but I'd rather not have to go back to that.
