Deleting file within Sync-Tool if the path is given via %COMMANDER_INI%\..\

[JOUBE]

Deleting file within Sync-Tool by right clicking -> delete is not possible, if the path is given via %COMMANDER_INI%\..\

See this suggestion: [Tc11] Suggestion: COMMANDER_INI_PATH

Not confirmed (Tested with TC 11.01rc2 32bit and 64bit on Windows 7)

Maybe your file was locked by another program/process?

Try this please:
- cm_filesync (all next steps within filesync module)
- left: %commander_ini%\..\
- right:a_path (with a copy of wincmd.ini in it)
- Compare
- Edit left wincmd.ini and change something in it.
- Compare
- double click wincmd.ini s and within file compare change the changes back.
- Compare
- now a wincmd.bak is seen on the left side
- try to delete this wincmd.bak file
- Compare

with which tool do you made the video?

I have tried it: It looks like the recycle bin doesn't like these kinds of paths, but deleting directly via Shift+click on "Delete left" works fine.
Postponed to a later version.

That could be it - I have the recycle bin disabled System-wise

I just marked it as a bug for completeness. But I think, that doesn't have to be changed at all and I would move it to the "will not be changed" forum, because there are umpteen other ways of deleting such file.

No, it's better to resolve the parent dir references ".." when starting the comparison. I already have such a function to handle archives with such references, so they can't write above the target directory.

I can confirm the bug in TC 11.01rc2 when enabling and deleting to the Recycle bin.

29.08.23 Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Resolve parent dir references \..\ when starting the comparison, because some functions like deleting to recycle bin fail with such paths (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.01rc3

Moved from "TC11.x bug reports (English)" to "TC Fixed bugs"

[JOUBE]

Yes, fixed in Tc11.01rc3.

No chance for 'COMMANDER_INI_PATH' ?

Maybe in a later version, 11.01 is for bug fixes, sorry.
