Icons don't update on Desktop on file delete

[Argimko]

Hello Christian!

Sometimes, when I delete file at TC window from Desktop folder, it doesn't refreshes items on the desktop.

I see this error is about 1 or 2 years.

Please, move your Desktop folder outside of User Profile folder, for example, move it to D:\Desktop to increase a chance to catch the bug.

Please, see the video for detailed info: https://youtu.be/ysKjEZSXJIM

1. Delete file with context menu from TC: OK
2. Rename file: OK
3. Delete file with Del key from TC [want to fix]: Fail
4. Delete file from Explorer [don't want to fix]: Fail

So, could you, please, call SHChangeNotify every time when TC remove folder or file directly from Desktop folder, AHK code for example:

Code: Select all

DllCall("shell32\SHChangeNotify", Int,SHCNE_DELETE := 0x4, UInt,SHCNF_PATH := 5, Str,"path_to_some_item_directly_on_desktop", Ptr,0)

Obviously, seems, it is Windows bug, but seems they are not plan to fix it, so could you make this workaround, please

This bug reproduced at Windows 10 21H2, 22H2 with TC v9.x, v10.x 32-bit and 64-bit.

Thank you!

Not confirmed here
The addition or deletion of files or links to/from the desktop updates it immediately.
I don't move my desktop out of my users folder as this is the normal place for it.

Sorry, but why should TC implement a workaround for an Windows bug?
(I have never seen this as I dont move the desktop folder)

Silva, doing Windows and other app related (like Norton CleanSweep) bug workarounds allowed Total Commander being so perfect file manager.

I think the next detail is important to reproduce the bug:

Windows Recycle Bin "Display delete confirmation dialog": option is Off

Code: Select all

[wincmd.ini]
UseTrash = 1
Win95Delete = 0
VistaDelete = -1
DeleteDelay = 0
