non empty directory deletion requestors reversed in order

[maicod]

under older Total Commander versions when I try to delete a directory containing other directories with files it first aks "do you really want to delete the selected directory" and after pressing the YES button it displays the window that says the directory is not empty and it displays a few buttons of which I always press the ALL button and after that the whole directory structure is deleted.

Now under Total Commander 8 it reverses these 2 windows. Is there an option or wincmd.ini option to restore the old behaviour ?

See the settings in the configuration dialog, and there Misc. > Confirmations.

Hmm, this is eactly what my TC 8.51a does - nothing changed there - also testet with fresh ini-file.

@petermad: I forgot to tell you that I use Windows 8.1 and the 64bit version of Total Commander and under windows I have disabled the recycle bin

I know that setting but that only disables one of the two dialog boxes (the one with e.g. the ALL button in it) but I want to see both of them but in the order that they were displayed previously)

Configuration > Copy/Delete > [_] F8/Del deletes to recycle bin
Shows TC "are you sure" dialog

Configuration > Copy/Delete > [X] F8/Del deletes to recycle bin
Shows Windows "are you sure" dialog. But if you have disabled recycling bin... maybe it's that?

Thanks Stefan that solved it ! It now works as the previous versions of Total Commander.
What strange is is that with the previous versions it did not matter if that F8/Del option is ON or OFF for the order of the requestors to appear but with the new Total Commander v851 64bit it does. I just re-checked this before making this statement so I can prove it if I must

Same here on my Windows 8.1 pc.

Since you have disabled the recycle bin, then you might want to put this parameter in your wincmd.ini file:

VistaDelete=0

Then you will also always get the "do you really want to delete the selected directory" dialog first, no matter what F8/Del is set to.

Thanks Peter I'll consider that too but so far the toggling of the F8/Del options seems to have restored things the way I'm used to
