Hi,
I'm aware I'm opening a can of worms with this one but delete, if user didn't disable Recycle Bin, should be relatively easy to code? Copy and move/rename features should be relatively easy to undo as well?

Change directory "undo" is already there; selection undo - if user accidentally selects a few wrong directories/files would be handy and change case undo are really the only features I can think of that could "respond" to undo command.

DOpus has an undo system that works great! It knows what actions can't be undone such as unmoving a file that has subsequently been deleted, (though you can undelete the file and then undo the move...).

Here is a quote from the DOpus help system:

The Undo command provides access to the Directory Opus undo system. This lets you undo many file actions that you have made, including copies, renames and deletes (if the Recycle Bin has been used). When used by itself, with no options specified, this command undoes the last performed file command. The command template for this command is:

ITEM/K,LIST/S,LISTMENU/S,PAGE/S:

· ITEM/K: This option lets you undo a specific action in the Undo list. You must specify the action number to undo.

· LIST/S: This option acts as a dynamic command and generates a list of all undoable actions. You can select an item from this list to undo a specific action without having to undo all actions in the list.

· LISTMENU/S: This option is the same as the LIST option except that the undo items are displayed in a popup submenu rather than in the Toolbar or menu itself. If there are no undoable items, the submenu is not displayed at all.

· PAGE/S: The PAGE option opens the Output Window and displays the Undo page, where you can see the list of undoable actions and selectively undo them.

Those commands go on custom buttons or menu items you create. I built a button with LISTMENU/S on it as the most convenient of these options.

Please understand I am NOT promoting DOpus... just including this to show that a Salamander UNDO would be possible to implement.

It is not a problem here, please look at forum rules.
