Issues with GOG Galaxy #948

Hi Tim, I can repruduce your ussue. The rule deletes lokal settings for sorting the gamelist to default. PS: Hidden games are hidden after cleaning. I would suggest to creat a warning. Best regards. |

Hi, I know that this game is always a trade-off between the stuff you want (like logs, caches, etc.) to delete and stuff you want to keep (like application settings, for example). Sometimes it is possible to separate them and create two rules instead which is why I wanted your attention on it. Anyway, when not possible: yes, a warning should be placed since most users surely will want to keep their settings. Hidden games seems to be my error and I am quite sure this is a global setting on the servers so they are not visible in the web library, too. I come every now and them to a point like this and will report them in here directly now, so the CCEnhancer guy (Shawn or Shane?) does not have to forward them anymore! ;-) Thanks and greetings, Tim |

Hi, C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\webcache\common\Local Storage\leveldb
On my pc 000003.log .... We have to make more research. Can you test it, pls? |
|
The environment variable The ExcludeKey should therefore look like this: |
|
Hello, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I am on the road for a few days from work, so I cannot test this immediately ... |
Thx, for the information but it's not noticed in the readme ... |
|
I just noticed today that all |
|
Next big search and replacement ? :D |
Have you had time to test the ExcludeKey? Does it work as intended? |
|
Sorry, misunderstood you here. Thought, I was meant to wait until this is released. I always check with CCEnhancer before each CCleaner use and since the warning also is still missing ... Anyway, with the latest GOG Galaxy version this seems to work in a quick first test. Seems they really made some changes again, but the 2.0 version I am using is in beta for how many YEARS now? :-D So I guess, we will see changes here again. |
|
No worries; I will test again as soon as there is the warning implemented as I know then the rule is updated. |

Guys, what about older ccleaner versions. Don't want to update ccleaner, want to stay on 5.42 version, so at least give as an option to stay on older version. The newer versions of ccleaner are unbearable. |
Even though it is off topic ... ;-) You can use winapp2.ini with each version (and several programs; see desciption on the start page). And if you find stuff like notifications and such on newer versions annoying, just block CCleaner in your firewall. However, this also prevents it from autoupdate and some functions like driver and software updates ... |
Replacing the environment variable (%CommonAppData% > %ProgramData%) is not a problem for older CCleaner versions. The variable was introduced with Windows Vista. |
I can of course do that, but what about the bigger window size since version 6, where nearly all window space is taken. Ccleaner has become trash in the last time to be honest. Nothing substantially done, no infile cleaning for years. I gave up hope and want to stay on the last stable adfree/blockfree version with not bs. I wish, that I even could use an older version, if possible, but it seems not. |
This is good news then. |
That's due to the Avast takeover of Piriform Ltd. back in 2017 – but it could have been much worse if you know Avast! ;-) On the other hand, no alternative ever convinced me and when you know what you do (and ignore the rest) ... |
|
@LinguaOccultus That's way I think, we should develop our own cleaner for winapp2.ini (with still support for other cleaners). I think with the help of ChatGTP or whatnot we have really good chances easily developing such a tool. |
|
This entry still is missing the warning about resetting the GOG Galaxy (2.0) view settings and filters until today ... About the off-topic about tools: Yes, the only way to have a really great tool is a new one. However, CCleaner still is much to useful and offers many different additional tools meanwhile I would not want to miss. To replace it with an open source and free community toll, there is MUCH effort needed. On the other hand, this has been done in other cases before ... (but I am not a developer). |
|
We are waiting for @MoscaDotTo to merge. |
|
No worries! ;-) Just used CCleaner yesterday and checked so I remember the discussion here and thought it might be helpful to give feedback until the issue is completely solved. I'll keep an eye on it ... thanks for the response! |
|
@APMichael can you also merge? Did you know something about MoscaDotTo, has she Illness? |
That should probably still be possible. However, I didn't really want to intervene until @MoscaDotTo had completed her major overhaul. I have no idea what progress has been made with her local copies. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about her either. I hope she is doing well and will soon find more time for this project. |
Hello,
I am using CCEnhancer (https://singularlabs.com/software/ccenhancer/) and was told, this is the winapp2.ini file, it downloads.
Currently, there is an issue with the cleaning rule for Games/Galaxy. When using it, it removes also customizations for the list views of the GOG Galaxy client which is surely unintended. For example, hidden columns re-appear and sorting is reset also. It seems like the GOG Galaxy client writes those settings to a file which gets deleted with this rule. Unfortunately, I have not found out by now, which one. Aside that, it is completely reproducable and since I excluded this rule, everything is fine again.
Best regards,
Tim
