Weird process name in Task Manager #1655

When I run Bleachbit the process name that is loaded in Task Manager looks something like this:

2024-03-25 16-19-23

Firstly: why? Why is my process name some advertisement instead of a normal filename?

Secondly: I am running a program called Econap to automatically hibernate my system. One of it's features is to have user defined processes block Econap from executing when they are running. I want Bleachbit to be such a process but it doesn't work. I can add Bleachbit likes this:

2024-03-25 16-35-46

But that doesn't work as it does for other applications, assumedly because of the weird process name.

If you try CI build 2467, does fix the process name?

This special build uses new versions of Python and other infrastructure, so it may help. However, the BleachBit parts are outdated, so I do not recommend it for everyday use. I would use the portable (zip) version instead of the installer (exe).

I added a new option: Build 2584. This is the latest version of BleachBit (4.6.x) using the old framework (Python 3.4, GTK 3.24).

Build 2467 uses the new framework (Python 3.10.7), but it has an old build date July 2023. This build has known issues, so it's just for testing, so I recommend portable (zip) over installer (exe). Once ready, this will be BleachBit 5.0.

Each build may have an improved process name in a different way.

Google Chrome may show safety warnings for the site ci.bleachbit.org . This is a false positive, but they won't give me details on the issue.

For cross referencing, here are related issues: #1000 #1109 #1134 #1655
