LFB cleared after file delete on network drive

[JohnM]

Hi All,

For me at least, under some circumstances, the LFB is cleared after a file is deleted, but the LV stays filtered. To repro:
1. Navigate to a network drive.
2. Use the LFB to filter the LV.
3. Delete/nuke one of the files shown in the LV.

I have tried with background processing for delete on and off with the same result.

This doesn't happen if you are on a local drive.

Can anyone confirm this?
Cheers

Unfortunately, no.

Neither with my current v17.00.0100 nor with a ::fresh; instance of it.
The LFB isn't cleared when I delete a file in a LFB filtered list on my NAS...

[JohnM]

Well that's a bugger

There must be a setting or something that's triggering it. I will dig deeper...

Does it work correctly with a fresh instance?

[JohnM]

I am going to test it, but I won't be able to until Monday.

In the meantime, have a good weekend!

For you too!

I fixed my issue.

After much mucking about I ended up setting the "Allowed number of entries in the action log" to the maximum value of 256 (it was set to 100) and the problem went away.

Perhaps my action log was corrupted in some way, because going back to 100 did not cause the issue to re-occur.

My config is at least 7 years old and I have never changed this value. Interestingly, after playing around with this value my action.dat file is still dated 29-Oct-2009.

Cheers
John

You don't have this one checked?

[JohnM]

No I didn't, but I do now. Thanks for the heads up.

[JohnM]

I spoke too soon. It started doing it again.

Could not reproduce either.

This is very curious.

I have been conducting some experimentation and can reproduce at will.
The problem is seems to only occur on Win XP (my work machine) and on a network folder that is accessed by drive letter (but not in the '\\<server-name>' form).

In this folder: \\tsiwdcgffs001\tjmt1$\My Documents\Tmp
1. create a file (eg testfile.txt)
2. enter in LFB: file
3. select and delete testfile.txt
4. the LV is still filtered and the LFB still shows file

LFB is not empty and LV is still filtered

Note that "\\tsiwdcgffs001\tjmt1$\My Documents\Tmp" and "u:\My Documents\Tmp" both refer to the same folder.

Tried it but could not reproduce.
