TC Lan Plugin: correct way to remove server connection

Post by *nicotc »

Hello,

I created a server entry using the Lan plugin to copy a few files from an SMB shared folder on my NAS to my phone. Now I have achieved that, I want to remove that server entry and all its connection details (including the password) from Total Commander.

When I long tap the server entry and select delete it says "Delete selected files" with the name of the server entry underneath.

Silly question but can you please confirm this option is only going to delete the server connection and its details but not delete all the files and folders contained in that NAS share?

Thanks, Nico.

Yes, I can confirm that this will delete just the server settings, not the files on the server. I have just tested it myself on my phone to be 100% sure.

I'd like to add that the use of the word 'delete' sends chills down my spine.
Deleting files directly is understood, but 'deleting' tunnels to or hooks attached to files or folders is much more disconcerting.
When the word 'delete' is used in a possibly ambiguous context, I believe a far better term is 'remove'. Or phrase the action so that its effect is quite clear.

Beware the Ides of March. :/
