What's new in Files Inspector 3.40
Sep 18, 2023
- Applications and Games section:
- Uninstalling multiple applications at once is now faster. If you choose to uninstall multiple applications at once, you only have to go through the uninstall screens once, rather than repeating the same steps for each application you want to uninstall.
- These options became available for some applications during uninstall:
- Speed Up the Standard Uninstaller by Hiding Unnecessary Windows.
- Standard Uninstaller Only. No Traces Lookup.
- Forced Uninstall: No Standard Uninstaller.
- When uninstalling applications, an extra screen has been removed that suggested searching for their traces in the system. Now the search starts automatically when the standard uninstaller finishes, and you will shortly see the number of application traces found in the system.
- Bugs fixed:
- Installing applications with tracing could hang or fail immediately after launch (due to the influence of drivers of certain applications).
- When reopening the application installation with the tracing window, the button at the bottom had the wrong text ("Finish" instead of "Forward").
