Re: Uninstall Tool 3.0 development version
Nice to see the same and clear interface and no ribbon
Nice nice.
PS
Another uninstaller has the hability to add program to the uninstaller if doesn't appear in the list (eg. Alcohol). Can you add that option?
Keep up the good work.

Re: Uninstall Tool 3.0 development version
Hello, Rafei! Thanks, yes, we say no to ribbons
Do you mean adding manually a program in the list? How: select its executable file (folder) ?

Re: Uninstall Tool 3.0 development version
This can be done in future if you can help us imagine the situation when such feature is needed.

Re: Uninstall Tool 3.0 Preview Release
What about a feature to allow more or less immediate re-installations?
Or a history log?

jwblyth,
Could you be please more specific?
Could you be please more specific?
Re: Uninstall Tool 3.0 Preview Release
A history log file generated listing the details of programs that have just been uninstalled by "Utool3."
Or; perhaps a list of programs that have been uninstalled with some type of link to permit either re-installing it from the original data stored on the computer just prior to un-installation; and/or a link to the program's website where it and its updates might be available?
(Often I uninstall programs prior to updating them so as to get a "clean" install; occasionally I find I prefer the earlier edition and so need to re-install it; as well as often using some type of programs only occasionally; and would rather keep the limit of installed programs as low as possible.)
Your program does such a thorough job of uninstalling programs and is so easy to use I find myself using it all the time. Thanks for that!!

Actually we a log feature in the TODO list: remember all installations (with monitor) and uninstallations (with Uninstall Wizard), but actually it's planned for 3.x not 3.0 release.
