+[8.5b9] Ignore list not recursive

[MVV]

0. Add F:\TEMP\hhh\* to ignore list.
1. Put a file into F:\TEMP\hhh and then delete hhh. TC warns that you deleting hidden file.
2. Put subfolder with a file into F:\TEMP\hhh and then delete hhh. TC doesn't warn that you deleting hidden file.
3. Furthermore, if you enter a subfolder of hhh, you'll see all its contents so ignore list is not applied to subfolders of ignored folder.

Yes, you only tell TC to hide the folder. The user may want to go to a subdir of the folder directly (e.g. via a button), so the files inside the subfolder must not be hidden!

What about adding special mask to ignore all inner dirs? E.g. F:\TEMP\hhh\*\* as it was in some old programs.

[ghisler(Author)]

That's one solution, but it doesn't solve the problem you have. Other ideas would be
- treat the * differently depending on what you do (delete vs. list)
or
- warn about hidden folders too - but just hidden using this method, not when they have the real "hidden" attribute.

What do you think?

[MVV]

I think first idea must be expanded to subfolders of ignored folders w/o * too (if I ignore C:\Test\Data but delete C:\Test, TC should warn before deleting something inside of C:\Test\Data). In other words, TC should warn before deleting every file which path contains ignored part.

Second idea should be almost the same but warning is for folder itself (difference is mostly in message text: folder path or file path). This way But this way will also touch ignored empty folders and it may be useful sometimes.

After some discussion on Russian board I can say that second case is preferred. However maybe it is a good idea to mix both: you show warnings for ignored items (BOTH files and folders recursively) until user answers 'All'.

I have chosen to use the first approach - but only when deleting a folder which contains the invisible folder, not when entering the subfolder and deleting the visible files there.

Thanks, works OK in 8.50b10!
