    Can't erase more than 16 files (eraser 5.8.7)

    Unfortunately for me the recent Unicode update on the SVN had no effect on the 16> file issue I still need to make my changes to get it to work. The reason I was assuming that my issue with 16+ files in version 6 was the same as 5 is that the code I changed to fix it has its equivalent in the...

    Can't erase more than 16 files (eraser 5.8.7)

    Firstly I just tested Eraser 6 and it also shows the same behaviour, more than 16 files and it won't work throws an error about how Eraser could not be started. Looking at the code its most likely the exact same issue, I can't debug properly as I can't seem to get the Eraser 6 code to compile...

    Can't erase more than 16 files (eraser 5.8.7)

    Is that the reason, I had a look at the example in the help files on it where it uses both the low bit, as used in eraser, numerical passing and the hi bit text passing but it gave no indication of the whys and whatfors of it. I'd figured it must have been something I set as it had been working...

    Can't erase more than 16 files (eraser 5.8.7)

    Firstly OS is Windows 7 x64 and from testing affects all previous versions of eraser 5. The issue is that using the context menu when more than 16 files are selected does nothing. Debugging the issue took me to line 289 of ErasextMenu.cpp if (!HIWORD(lpici->lpVerb) && CMD_ERASE ==...

    Eraser 5.87-beta 1 Released

    The only program I can think of that uses AltDS is(or was I haven't used it in ages) Kaspersky antivirus. You could make them by hand you just pipe the data in something like "type datafile.pdf>targetfile.txt:data.pdf" at least thats the kind of example I've seen and it seems to work. The...

    Eraser 5.87-beta 1 Released

    I still have the problem with the combined installer where on the install screen both 32 and 64 are selected and greyed out and upon install only the 32bit files are in the windows directory. I'm using x64 WinXP sp2. Also the issue I have where having "Alternate Data Streams" turned on...

    Have you tried getting the code from the SVN? I've successfully compiled from that.

    Alternate Data Streams causing locked files

    I have posted previously about an issue with the erasing of single files with them reporting being locked (I messed around with erasers code and the error passed is ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION, I know next to nothing of windows programming so I dunno if thats of any interest) The specifics are...

    Cant install eraser 5.86

    As it hasn't been mentioned here: I had the issue of the context menu not being present in XP x64 this was caused by the installer wrongly installing the 32bit extention files. The installer here 64Bit http://www.heidi.ie/download/erasersetup64.exe Taken from this thread fixed the...

    Eraser 586a Released

    Thanks for the new packs, the first one posted in this thread 5.86a still has the problem I had where the extension installed is the x86 version. The old style msi installer however works flawlessly so thanks a lot for that. Thats on XP x64 SP2.

    Install issue on x64

    With the last two installers 5.86 and 5.85x64 I've had issues that mean the shell extension doesn't get installed, that is no context menu entry in explorer. The 5.86 installer brings up the install options both 32 and 64 the only options that can be toggled are the respective entries on the...

    eraser fails to delete single file

    Does sound like my problem, while I noticed an improvement when I removed sptd it didn't clear the problem entirely. Its a weird problem its hard to think of a reason for the behaviour. What you might try is looking for any drivers that might be doing something drm and security drivers seem...

    Erasing single file results in File locked dialogue

    I found the source of the problem, SPTD, specifically version 1.50. when its uninstalled I have no issues I didn't do a great deal of testing but it seems to be it. I have no idea about the rather bizarre nature of the interaction or why it should exist at all, maybe theres something else to...

    Erasing single file results in File locked dialogue

    I've also had a couple of msgboxes mentioning Eraserl crashing or something. (You'd think I'd know to write it down) The last one happened just after login which confused me a bit as I didn't think it would be running at that point.

    Erasing single file results in File locked dialogue

    Nothings running I have outpost firewall installed but I go to some lengths to remove its stupid spyware scanning. Other than outpost I have very little running, though I haven't tested in safe mode. I should point out the files aren't locked (I can delete them normally) also searching for...

    Erasing single file results in File locked dialogue

    Actually I noticed a common denominator for the files that work any .exe file seems to work fine. Any other type or even files without an extension are locked when I erase them alone but work fine when deleted with another file. A couple of other observations and clarifications. This...

    Erasing single file results in File locked dialogue

    When I try to erase a single file it will bring up the file is locked box, however if I select multiple files it works as expected. Also sometimes erase move will work but not always. The problem doesn't occur with every file but I can't see anything that differentiates the ones that work. The...
