PWB v3 CEF and Gmail

Post by jlegree »

Is there a way to configure PWB v3 CEF to delete cookies at closing? We're running into users logging in to Gmail and finding a previous user's name and email address in the login box. Is incognito mode an option with PWB v3?

We are looking into why PWB CEF is not clearing the cookies and cache with the following setting.

[Security]
ClearCacheOnClose=True

In the meantime you can use the PWB startup script to clear the cache and cookies with the following steps.

1. Create a batch file, for example "clean.cmd" in the PWB folder.

2. Set the PWB startup script to run the batch file when it starts with the following example.

INI setting:

[Files]
StartupScript=C:\PWB3\clean.cmd

Batch file:

rd %TEMP%\cache /s /q


When PWB starts it will run the "clean.cmd" batch file which uses the "rd" command to remove the directory PWB v3 CEF is using for caching.

Please note, PWB v3.04.2 CEF Release Candidate 1 now available on the Downloads page fixes the Clear Cache on Close in PWB v3 CEF.

Hi Scott,

Did this problem creep back in?

With
[Security]ClearCacheOnClose=True
in both PWB CEF 3.05.0 beta K and in the latest RC2 I am finding visited links still displayed in the different color after a PWB close and restart, and looking at %TEMP%\Cache it still seems to be populated after PWB is closed?

Thanks,

Tim.

PWB 3.05.0 CEF RC4 now available on the Beta Downloads page now clears the cache when PWB starts preventing file in use when PWB us exiting.
