Being a big fan of eraser I would like to see it progress. While it is almost complete for the purpose it was intended (erasing files) there are a few things I'm sure could be added.
Personally I would rather see it shy away from becoming a system clean up tool like ccleaner, but giving the ablity to users to do similar via scheduled tasks is ok
- Better wildcard support in scheduled tasks
Scenario
given the directories
c:\test1\directory1
c:\test2\directory1
c:\test3\directory1
I would like to be able to delete all 3 "directory1" with one scheduled task entry
Implementation
Add support for wildcardss anywhere in the path and not just at the end
eg: "c:\*\directory1"
Reasoning
Using the export of schduled tasks we could create a repository of known files to delete that people unsure of what they should delete to remove private files
eg:
firefox cache - which uses random directory names)
WinXP temp Dir c:\Documents & Settings\<user>\Local Setting\temp\*
