file deletion issue

[Hakker]

I hope I can describe the problem correctly for anyone to reproduce.

When I delete or move files from one side to the other in/from a directory with lots of files the mouse will not work in the active tab.
I have to switch from one tab to the other and back before I can work in that tab again. I got it in directories with more than 1500 files.

Tested with:
TC 7.50a and TC 7.55b1
Win 7 x64
12 GB mem
core i7 cpu

How exactly do you delete?
- Use internal delete method, click on "Background"?
- Use Explorer delete method?

I use the explorer delete method. none contain comments afaik.

I see - unfortunately I cannot do anything about it: In Delphi, the message loop function handles key presses like TAB. The Explorer delete method takes over the message loop while it's running, and doesn't handle the TAB key in Total Commander.

Since you use Windows 7, I recommend that you use the more modern Windows Vista/7 delete method instead:
1. Turn off the Explorer delete method
2. Please add the following string to the file wincmd.ini, section [Configuration]:
VistaDelete=1

You can edit the wincmd.ini via Configuration - Change settings files directly.
