Lag before deletion

Post by *Plus200 »

When I try to delete a folder with many subfolders and files in it, it takes a while before the deletion starts. Seems like calculating something.

But if I hit the "escape" while the calculation is going on, it immediately starts to delete.

Why is there a lag if it can be shorten with simple "esc"?

Thanks!

Plus200,

To show the deletion progress bar. With Esc you cancel the calculation and no progress percentage is shown.
Configuration - Options - Operation - Calculate space occupied by subdirectories - before copyting/deleting.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
