File deletion bug?

Post by *Tim Green »

Not quite sure if this is a bug or not but it appears in Total Commander 5.51 and not in WC 5.0:

When I delete files in one of the TC windows with Shift+Del the filename is often still displayed in the window. Double-clicking on this leftover name produces an error message and then the name goes away. Strangely, this doesn't only appear in TC. If I delete the file in TC and then open the same directory with Windows Explorer the "leftover" filename is visible there, too. However, it doesn't happen if I delete the files directly in WE.

As far as I can see (not entirely sure) this problem only appears regularly in Windows XP, which I run on a dual Athlon system with a Tyan Tiger MPX board (AMD 760MPX chipset). However, I'm pretty sure I've also seen it on my old Windows 2000 BX system, but not so often.

This never happens with WC 5.0, however, on either system. 8)

This often happens on network drives, which may not be reread due to performance reasons.

Check for an "Noreread=\" entry at your wincmd.ini file.

Just use F2 key or CTRL-R to force a refresh.

What's the meaning of "Noreread=", I didn't find it in the help...

NoReread
See Help under Settings in the file wincmd.ini
Noreread=AB\ Do not reread these drives; \ stands for 'Network Neighborhood'
