Hello!
As usual enjoying my total commander, but but.. I have one small problem..
When trying to delete [F8 ] a subdir, exported from my linux-machine, mounted on my windows-machine, total commander asks
"The directory j:\tmp\bar is not empty! Dp you want to delete it[...]", when I answer "D" as in Delete on that question, Total says "The directory j:\tmp\bar could not be deleted".
The directory is empty.. ls -a shows no files on linux, deleting it from cmd.exe (rmdir) and explorer works fine.
What can I have missed? What more info do you need

Can't delete subdirs mounted through SMB(it says not empty?)

This is a known problem, I've been working on a fix for some time. The problem is that SAMBA drives report themselves as NTFS, but fail with NTFS functions for copying extended file streams (e.g. NTFS comments). So AFTER copying a file from a Samba dir anywhere else, you can no longer delete that dir because its handle is still open!
Solution: Close and re-open Total Commander, then you can delete the dir. Closing TC will close all open handles, also the one to that directory.
