I'm also having the same problem now 1.2;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bleachbit/+bug/1258851
What happened to all the other options?
I only have like 4-5 show up too in 1.2 and I thought this would be fixed by now?
thanks

We apologize..
We apologize for such a long delay with this issue. Our team has been looking into this issue, but we don't have any leads of what might be causing this to happen.
What OS do you use (windows or linux)?
32-bit or 64-bit?
Has this happen with version before 1.0 (.9.6 and down)?
Do you have any type of HIPS or antivirus that may be blocking contents from BleachBit? If so, then check the quarantine folders for anything related to BleachBit or XML files (XML files are text files in a different format and should contain no such infections).

1.4 also no good....
Ahh I was hoping the lastest release was finally going to work, but no such luck...
In 1.4 these are the only options I have now;
Bash
Deep Scan
Firefox
Flash
Gimp
System
Thumbnails
Transmission
Xchat
By the way I saw this problem in other distros too, not just Slack...
Here is the info from 1.4
------------------------------------
BleachBit version 1.4

local_cleaners_dir = /usr/share/cleaners
locale_dir = /usr/share/locale/

sys.version = 2.7.5 (default, May 29 2013, 02:28:51)

__file__ = /usr/share/bleachbit/Diagnostic.pyc
/usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners shows all these files;

I am not sure what Andrew has
I am not sure what Andrew has accomplished, so far, with this issue. He claimed there is going to be another update to fix some issues that have occurred in 1.4. After that, maybe he can look more into this issue. As far as I know, this issue only occurs in Slackware. I haven't seen this on other Linux operating systems, but I could be wrong. I am not getting this issue under my Windows 7 64-bit. My only advice to you is to stick with .9.6 and just wait until Andrew can find a resolution for this issue. I wish I could do more for you guys.

I'm sorry you are having this issue, but I still cannot reproduce it, so it is hard to diagnose and fix. If I could remotely connect using Google Chrome Remote Desktop, ssh, teamviewer, or something else similar, it would make troubleshooting much, much easier.

No remote connections to the box....
Let me know what you want to troubleshoot and look for and I can do it...
I'm going to test some other distros in VirtualBox and see what happens...
So the latest version of Bleachbit hasn't been changed to detect what is installed in the system and only show these options, or all options should still be visible, even if you don't have the application installed?

The change in BleachBit 1.0
The change in BleachBit 1.0 (from 0.9.6) was to remove the auto-hide option. Before, it was turned on by default.
The cleaners are automatically hidden if there is nothing to clean. You can disable auto-hiding by editing bleachbit/Cleaner.py near line 86 so it always returns False: just take out the for loop. This will show all the cleaners, but they probably won't do anything. Try it and let me know

Where?
By the way in Ubuntu's latest release which uses 1.0 I also only see a few options and Firefox is installed by default in Ubuntu and it's not even showing up in 1.0...
This hide option might be nice to make it as a Preference in the GUI so people can enabe/disable there...

OK, I made a new branch that restores the removed auto-hide option. Assuming you have git installed, please try this
git clone -b missing-options https://github.com/az0/bleachbit.gitcd bleachbit
python bleachbit.py
Then in the preferences menu, please uncheck hide irrelevant cleaners. If this shows more cleaners, verify whether the preview (or delete) do anything for those cleaners. I am worried they will not do anything.

Restored options, I don't follow you, do you mean all the items that were hidden before that I can now see?
I click Preview and it shows items to delete, then I click the X to clean and everything is cleaned out... So from what I can tell it's doing it's job ok...

Yes, this is what I mean. If
Yes, this is what I mean. If a cleaner hidden by auto-hide finds at least one file to preview or clean, this sounds like an existing bug in the auto-hide code. So I need to keep looking for a way to make auto-hide more reliable.

Going back to what you said
Going back to what you said before;
'The cleaners are automatically hidden if there is nothing to clean'
So in the latest Bleachbit if you don't have a certain application installed or there is nothing to clean, it's not suppose to appear, the name in the left side pane? This is where I'm still confused, I thought we are suppose to see all the cleaners for all the apps BleachBit supports?
Also I'm still not following this last comment;
If a cleaner hidden by auto-hide finds at least one file to preview or clean...
Because in this git version you made it so nothing is hidden, so how can I now have a hidden cleaner? Makes no sense in my mind? Hmm
All I can see is that everything appears to be working as normal like the 0.9.6 version...

To answer your main question, Andrew will be releasing a 1.5 beta version soon, but I am not sure if he has fixed this issue, yet. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting.

BBUser,
BBUser,
Sorry for the delay. I reviewed your 9/18/2014 comment. This is what I mean: please pick one of the sections that is hidden that should not be hidden (say, Google Chrome), and then run a preview for that section. Does it find any files to clean, or is the preview empty?

Sorry this doesn't many sense to me what you just said, because I'm using 1.5 from git if you remember and everything is showing, nothing is hidden.
So what are you asking, to use 1.4 and try it? Also how can I pick something that is hidden that I don't see and run a preview on it?
Hmm I'm lost, hehe... :/

Sorry for being confusing. Does this help?
If #7 never shows any files, then auto-hide is working correctly. If #8 shows any files, then auto-hide is broken (even in the latest version you are testing).

BBUser: If you have auto-hide
BBUser: If you have auto-hide enabled, the quantity depends mainly on what files are on your system. For example, Google Chrome is hidden unless (1) it is enabled or (2) there are any Google Chrome files that exist on your system.
If you have auto-hide disabled, then you will see about 70 cleaners in BleachBit 1.10 on Linux. Most of them are listed here https://github.com/az0/bleachbit/tree/master/cleaners
