The module will clean your Scr and/or your Demos folder.
Some people (like me) delete their Scr / Demos after a time.

Looks good. Simple but effective. :) I Like that there are the 'Serverbrowser' and 'BSP' included. ;)

I hope you build a protection/confirmation into this button? Some people might regret using it when they're just testing ;)

Agreed. When you click it a pop-up box should come up saying: This will remove all screenshots and Demo's, do you wish you continue?

Good job.
Anyway, design looks like copied from PCDP :P
.
You Need Net Framework 4
.Net is bad!

+1 for .7z archive
-1 for 3 config files
-1 for crash if config file doesn't exist
-1 for no "X" close button
-1 for built in Todo list

Sorry ic3y, it needs updates...

Cool :D

A few things:
- shouldn't be the default language "english" instead of "englisch"?
- I've changed the path config, but the cleaner couldn't find my pball. All other tools can find it (it uses C:\Games\Paintball2\... instead of C:\Spiele\Paintb~1 from the config)
- I don't like the blue font color, I'd prefer white or something else what's better to see
- start demo doesn't work for me, nothing happens
- I'd like to see a prev and a next button for the screenshots (ah ok, I see it's on the 2do list)
- I can't upload my screenshots, the upload button isn't activated (it's on the 2do list, too)
- what does mean "Close a. Start"?
- the BSP image is a little bit distorted, you might use the same image as you did for the game and the serverbrowser here
- sometimes it says "ic3y" and sometimes it says "[GER] ic3y", I wouldn't use different names
- if it's possible I'd like to see the X for closing, too (I use that most of the time :P)
- and of course the german language ;)

All in all, great job so far *thumbs up*

Like everytime from me; only the negative things:

- Icon in the title bar of the main window is missing (the info window has it)
- My mouse pointer makes the vista "loading ring", if i hover the text in the to do list. Does it load something in the background?
- Crash, if i click on Localstats Uploader, Paintball Cleaner, Screenshot Viewer or Demo Viewer. All because of the bad path. Maybe you can read it from the registry and save it in the file on launcher startup.
- Title from the "Can't find..." windows is only "pb". Maybe write something else here.

And don't use "Digital Paintball²". You know why :P


Edit:
- Info window and logo has the old version number
- Title in the info window isn't shown completely (only . . . by [GER] i...)

Every time I want to set the path to my BSP folder and click on 'Set' the program didn't find my path and that over and over again. You should fix it (I don't know if T3RROR15T said the same). ;)

There is currently a path Bug. Remove the last \

C:\BSP\ -> C:\BSP


Where is your BSP ?

C:\Programme\bsp

I wrote it like this and at the version 0.5 it worked. ;) He can't save the settings in the config when I push the 'Set' button.

For some reason the launcher resets my pathes after closing it.

And I've recorded a demo while the launcher was opened. The cleaner find it (count 1), the viewer doesn't.

I found the bug. My "File exist?" part is not working, so launcher start -> new config. (Changed some parts from 0.5 -> 0.6)
Fixed in the new version.

Unhandled exception when "scrnshot" folder has not yet been created (no screenshots taken) - might also happen for demos folder for viewer too, not sure. Happens with screenshot viewer and paintball cleaner.

Possibly you could check demo file names to see if they are autodemos, using regex, and then get a multicolumn list with server name/time/date recorded :D

Also if the .NET requirement could be lowered to 2.0 that could open it up to a lot of people on XP etc. who don't want to have to install 4.0.

Other than this, good job, works well, looks good, nice and simple :D

Some ideas and bugs:

- add a check if the files (paintball2.exe and serverbrowser.exe for paintball; bsp.exe for bsp) exist, if i change the path.
- make the set path buttons inactive, if nothing is typed into the field.
- add the text "No demo found." to the demo viewer, if the folder is empty.
- add the text "No screenshot found." to the screenshot viewer, if the folder is empty.
- add the text "No stats found." to the localstats uploader, if the folder is empty.
- make the demo/screenshot checkbox inactive, if no demos/screenshots are found in the paintball cleaner.
- crash, if i look a at screenshot, close that window and want to use the paintball cleaner for screenshots (file is in use message).
- add a default image, if the screenshot viewer opens.
- add a question, if the localstats website should open after uploading a stats file.
- crash, if i have other files in the screenshot folder and want to view them in the screenshot viewer. A filter, that is only shows *.jpg files should help.
-- add a filter for dm2 files to the demo viewer
-- add both filters to the paintball cleaner (counter + deleting)

Edit:
- Localstats upload doesn't work. There is no stats file with my name on stats.bantero.us

Does the picture viewer take aspect ratio into account or just stretch pictures to fit? One of your example screenshots looks kinda squished :D
