Misbehaviour with deleting when not enough free space

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

Misbehaviour with deleting when not enough free space

Post by *Jungle »

1. Set AlwaysCopyInBackground=1 in the ini-file.

2. Copy some files (lot enough) to e.g. flash drive which has no enough free space to hold all of them.
After some time "Disk is full" dialog will appear. DO NOT close it.

3. Try to delete some files from the flash in background. New progress window will appear.

After deleting this window will not disappear (see image) until you close "Disk is full" dialog.

Moreover, if TC is in minimized state when "Disk is full" dialog appears, you can't switch to TC's main window although that dialog is not modal (i
mean that you can work with TC if it is not minimized). It is possible to access TC if you press Skip in appeared dialog and Alt+Tab (one ore more times). But it is inconvenient.

Actually the "Disk full" dialog is shown by the background thread, but via the main window. Therefore both are inaccessible until the dialog is closed. Unfortuantely there is currently no other way to do it, sorry.
