DESCRIPTION

Uninstaller allows you to uninstall applications by finding and deleting new created items on your disk since a previous saved state. Uninstaller can also be used to just check changes (new, modified and removed files) made on disks or folders between two dates.

Uninstaller takes snapshots of your disk or folder item hierarchies and compare them to find changes. Lists, scans and states can be saved or exported for comparisons and delayed deletions. Infos and various operations could be done on selected items. Uninstaller could also archive and restore items and create uninstall shell scripts. Available localizations: EN, FR.

Major features:
  • Scan and compare disk or folder item hierarchies to find new, modified and removed items

  • Various operation could be done on found items including archive and restore
  • Import/export item lists and disc/folder states

MACMAGNA  Perhaps we are not using the same version because the behavior you describe is similar to the one used in the previous release v.1.11 not in v.1.12.

In Uninstaller 1.12:

- "Save" just scan and save the item state.

- "Compare" just scan and compare against the saved state.

and:

- "Save" DO NOT compare after the scan.

- "Compare" DO NOT save any state.

Please let me know if the version you use really works differently.  (Version 1.12)

SGHUEBNER  I am sorry, there seems to be no way to edit a review so I have to use another one. There was a typo in my last comment. The last sentence should read "...then make a *comparison*...", not "computer". Don't know how this got in there :-)  (Version 1.12)

SGHUEBNER  Maybe I am the only one but I think the new behaviour of 1.12 is very un-intuitive compared to how it worked before. Reasons:

1. The toolbar-buttons do other things than their label suggests.

2. "save" not only saves the state, but it does a compare again. Totally useless and unnecessary as I only want to actually "save" but not want to compare again.

3. It is not clear to the user that "compare" actually not only compares but also saves the new found state.

This is bad for several reasons. In my opinion, "save" should only be available in two cases:

1. There is no earlier state

2. right after a "compare" and only once.

"Compare" should really do only "compare" and no save at all. The reason? The user may only test try a comparison to see if anything has changed. He might decide to leave Uninstaller without saving, install something else and then make a computer which then would include the unsaved changes plus new found entries.  (Version 1.12)

MACMAGNA  Unlike previous versions, Uninstaller 1.12 use a different behavior to do its job.

The new uninstall process:

1) Select your main disc/folder and do just "Save" (this create/update the saved state)

2) Install your new app, use it, create documents, etc...

3) Do "Compare" (this create the current state and compare it to the saved state)

Now Uninstaller show you New, Modified and Removed items since 1)

4) Review New items and delete unwanted files.

That's all.

Optionally, you can update the saved state by doing "Save" again after 4) if you consider to compare later your disc/folder from this point.  (Version 1.12)
