"Do not ask again" on access denied doesn't remember

Post by Malarki »

This is with v21.10.031.

I forgot that I was downloading into a folder and ran a script that renames folders, including this one. The script popped an XY "Access denied" window. This had a checkbox for "Don't ask again during this renaming operation". I enabled the checkbox and clicked "OK" to keep the script going for other folders. But it popped repeatedly on the same folder, though it finally quit asking.

This is repeatable and only happens under scripting and with multiple folders selected. With only a single folder there is no checkbox.

Maybe there is no easy way for XY to figure out what I wanted / I was misusing the checkbox or the process. So I'm not sure it's even a bug. But am reporting it in case things are not quite as intended in this relatively rare case.

The flag is reset for each new rename special operation (each of which can have many items to be renamed). So I guess your script calls rename special more than one time?

Yes, it tries to rename each folder, but only one folder was locked.

However, now it's not repeating. In fact whether or not I enable the checkbox it doesn't ask again! So - if not repeatable, and not very important anyway - not worth chasing.

Thanks
