When deleting single file, NEVER use Explorer method

Post by *Blackx »

In Copy+Delete options, there is "Use Explorer delete method", which I keep checked as it is faster for a lot of files.

However: If you want to delete a single file, Explorer will display a confirmation dialog with a lot of detailed (and unnecessary) information about that file. Getting that information takes time even on a powerful PC with a SSD drive, so it sometimes takes several seconds till the Explorer delete dialog is shown. (... try it on any video file or DNG photo file). It gets annoying after a moment. If two or more files are selected, confirmation dialog is shown immediately.

Proposed solution: Add another settings (either in the dialog or in the INI file) to NEVER user Explorer method when deleting a single file.
