too many clicks #618

Closed Chrysanthemum536 closed 2 weeks ago

Chrysanthemum536 commented 5 months ago

to uninstall you have to click uninstall continue continue begin uninstallation (go through everything in the actual uninstaller) close search for leftovers

and each of the steps can take 1-5 seconds to load, and I have almost never made any other choices during these steps please add an option to just do everything

Just use quiet uninstall when available? I think that what are you looking for.

no, it still requires selecting all the confirmation options

I can understand the idea of making the process more silently, but I don't think "an option to just do everything" would be a good idea.

For me BCUninstaller works best if you want to do a lot of uninstalls, or try to uninstall anything as clean as possible. If you do not have those needs (for example you want to uninstall a 30mb thing after installing it for 2 minutes), just use the uninstall.exe. It gets crap deleted too. And probably 80% of modern uninstall.exe require less clicks than BCUninstaller.

But unlike uninstall.exe, BCUninstaller will try to delete all relevant files and even registry entries. If anything goes wrong in a full automated and silent uninstall, things could get ugly. I think that's why BCUninstaller makes you confirm so many times in the first place.

Though... Like in commandline you can always add -y to avoid typing y later, maybe there is a better solution to this.

At the moment it's only possible to skip confirmations in console mode with the appropriate switch. It's done the way it is now for the exact reasons @MaxHasBeenUsed mentioned.
