It's currently used for inverting the default delete action - with trash, without trash.

So as i suggest above, Alt-Del would be great.

BTW the junction utility from sysinternals is downloadable with source code too, so Altap can inspire self for adding this function to 2.5 final - it's not difficult to implement it. What do you think Jan R. and others?

Sure, but what is the problem with that? If you use the trash the deletion is done by Windows, which handles junctions correctly... The bug only occurs when you delete by bypassing the trash, cf my first message.

I think that's not so transparent like the separate shortcut.

We plan simply to detect reparse-point and if it is reparse-point, we will only unlink it from directory and then delete that empty directory. New hotkey is not needed for this action.

Umm, well and what about this:
I have dirS linked to dir (dirS is symlink)

I want to delete dirS (with all files in it). If I use delete as you're planing, the directory will be only unlinked and deleted, but files will be still there. It's little confusing, don't you?

This removes me the ultimate control about deleting only the junction and/or the content of the dir (with it).

Think about it.

I don't think it's problem. You can still open this directory link and delete content inside of this linked directory.

Hmm, this is closer to workaround than to solution. I think that the behavior as you suggest isn't so transparent and smart (as I expected from Altap team).

So, If you think ..., it's your program...

We will change the Delete command as Petr wrote above.

If there will be demand, we can introduce confirmation unlink/delete.

OK.

Your program - your decision.

This problem has been fixed. When you delete reparse point (most frequently junction point or volume mount point), you do not delete also content of this reparse point recursively.
