Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hello,

I do have a small problem with v2.5 beta 10 and would be glad if someone can confirm it:

Please select a file in the left panel (simple click), then click once into the right panel (right panel becomes active). Then right-click the selected file in the left panel again (without clicking anywhere else in this panel first) and choose delete. Nothing does happen here.

BTW: I've checked "Right-click to open shortcut menu" in Configuration/Panels/Mouse.

Many thanks in advance.

works for me that way, too

Good to know. It's really annoying that one has to activate a panel to delete a file from within the context menu. For some reason the entries "Open" or "Properties" do not show this bevavior.

This works like you'd expect it to for me. It asks to delete the file. I should let you know my config is different than default though.

Options | Panel:
Mouse: [x] Right-click to open shortcut menu (hold CTRL to select/unselect)

Hi Roger, I suppose you mean focus the file? (Selected files becomes red.)
Is the left panel activated by right-clicking the file?
What about the other commands from opened context menu?
What happen when you right-click another file (then previously focused)?

I try to answer.

Hi Roger, I suppose you mean focus the file? (Selected files becomes red.)

yes, i think

Is the left panel activated by right-clicking the file?

yes, it is

What about the other commands from opened context menu?

others seem to work fine, only delete is not (dialog delete? yes/no is expected, but not shown)

What happen when you right-click another file (then previously focused)?

the same

Maybe I did something wrong when I tried to duplicate the problem but on my system this failure never occures.

My config: WinXP / Microsoft 5-ButtonMouse (only winxp standard driver) / SS2.5b10

bebe said it all (thanks).

The whole problem seems to be random. I've restarted Salamander now, clicked through some directories and suddenly it worked correctly, but when I clicked "Cancel" on the "Do you want to delete ..." window, it did not disappear immediately, but the separator between the panels became visible through the dialog. So there seems to be some kind of general problem with it.

BTW: I could not answer earlier because the board always told me "You cannot make another post so soon after your last; please try again in a short while.".

For me it happens on W2000SP4. Maybe it is OS-version related.

It was our fault, I am sorry. We are still working on the forum installation.

Even on my side is everything working fine

Then try to reproduce the issue again.

This does not make any difference here (W2000SP4), still no action.

My configuration: WinXP SP2, Logitech Cordless desktop (I can specify more, if needed).
Yes, it was checked. However, now it works (but I also use different mouse - Microsoft IntelliMouse via USB)

Could you reproduce the problem when you turn on Move all deleted files and directories to the Recycle Bin option now?
