Q: Onyx "Automation" tab.. does it include every other tab?

Does the Onyx 'Automation' tab cover all the selections you have checked off in all the other tabs? (such as Maintenance, Cleaning, etc)

 

I noticed that the Automation tab seems to cover a lot of it, but I wasn't sure if it meant that it was checking to see what you had checked off in every other tab and then running all of those selections under one 'sweep'.. The reason I ask is because there are some options on the individual tabs that I'd like to happen during "Automation", but wasn't sure if they would be included or if I had to run those smaller options within each tab separately..

 

Thoughts?

    There is never anything that warrants "Auto" or "Full" or any similar adverb when discussing "cleaning", "optimizing", "protecting," or "maintaining" your Mac.

    If you have problems that need to be corrected by using one of the tools bundled into individual "Maintenance" programs, then use that specific function. If you don't know why you are running any of the individual functions, then don't.

     

    For instance, if you have crapware slowing down you system, and you enable "Cache Cleaning" in some "repair" utility, it is likely the caches aren't the problem. Now, you have crapware slowing down the OS, and the OS is slowed down by trying to restore the caches it had built to speed itself up.
