SC delete and prompts

[autocart]

Code: Select all

delete 0, 0, $itemlist

This still promps whether items with overlong file names should be deleted permanently "instead" of moving them to the recycle bin or not be deleted after all.
1) This makes no sense at all since I already stated in parameter 1 (which is 0) that I want to skip the recycle bin.
2) Even if I had the first paramter set to 1 (move to bin) but the second parameter still set to 0 (no confirmation prompt) then I would still NOT want ANY prompt. People who set it to 0 should know what they chose.
THX!!

[autocart]

everybody else expects and/or likes this behavior??

I agree with you on 1) but not 2) if the bin doesn't handle overlong filenames and despite your parameter to use the bin a file would get permanently deleted.

I also ran into this.

A delete 0, 0, $itemlist; show the attached dialog.

a) the message could simply be dropped when the delete originates from a script that explicitly set recycle=0 and
b) the message is slightly wrong, it sayes "Overlong Filenames" but the Filename itself is not overlong, it's the path that is overlong
