Deleting files fails silently on UNC drive

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Deleting files fails silently on UNC drive

Post by *buzzlightyear »

Please bear with me if this has already been issued or if I shouldn't been post ing it at all because I'm still using v6.57 and don't know if this behaviour still is going to be seen in the current release.

I do a recursive search in TC and then display the result in a list pane. Then I mark all files in the list and press [DEL]. Although this doesn't change the displayed list, the files are actually deleted - IF (and only if) they are on a local drive. If I do this on an UNC path, the deletion fails silently.

Martin

I can not reproduce that here with 6.57 or 7.02a.

Maybe this depends on the files to be deleted - can you delete these files by deleting after navigating to them?

Maybe you can give an example of a simple directory structure where this can be reproduced?

Indeed the files will not be removed from the list when you use the Explorer method to delete them. Reason: I don't get any feedback in this case which file was deleted and which not. I could re-check every file, but this would take a long time (and the file may still be there because the Explorer is still deleting the files in the background).
