TC deletes files under cursor, not the selected files

[Hacker]

Hi,
This is a bug report from the Slovak / Czech forum.

The video explains it quite well:
http://rapidshare.com/files/135434664/TCMD704.avi.html
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1O42CQ57

It only happens in folders where Opera or RapGet are currently downloading files to.

I tried deleting some files in a folder where Firefox was downloading this video to, but I cannot confirm said behavior.

Confirmed, TC deletes the directory which has the cursor focus!
So, for example select directory 006, then set cursor on 001 and press delete.

Confirmed with this batch running in background:

Code: Select all

echo off
:Start
echo	1234567890>>test.txt
goto Start

WatchDirs=3
SizeStyle=0

And it's not only limited to focused directories, also files can be deleted.

TC7.04 / Vista32 / Dualcore

Regards,
Holger

Edit:
Tried several times again, and got the following error message after confirming delete:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Total Commander

Access violation at address 005A334A. Read of address 01BDE02C.
Please report this error to the Author,

[Yes] results into a freezed, non closable modal delete progress dialog.

Confirmed using HolgerK's batch in the background

Unfortunately I have to confirm this error too! The problem is that the selection is lost between the moment when you press OK, and the moment when deletion starts, so the file under the cursor will be deleted instead (the default when nothing is selected). The error was introduced when allowing the user to abort counting of the selection size with ESC - there the function MessageLoop is called, which allows Windows to cause a refresh in TC...

Fortunately the error is quite easy to fix - the list of files to be deleted has to be put together BEFORE the delete confirmation dialog is shown. I will add this fix to TC 7.04a.

This issue seems fixed in TC 7.04a. Perhaps the topic should be moved in another forum...

Thanks! Indeed it was the main reason for 7.04a...
