Strange behaviour when deleting tasks from the list!!!

Postby kirilius » Fri Aug 20, 2004 7:24 am

Hi all,

I have noticed some strange behaviour of FDM and am curious whether some of you have experienced it too:
When a download task is complete, it remains in the list in comleted status. When I want to delete it, I click on it and press DEL key. Sometimes (I have this habit from Windows to bypass Recycle Bin) I press SHIFT+DEL. I am not sure if this makes any difference but after the task is deleted form list sometimes the downloaded file remains on my local dsk, sometimes it disappears.

My question is: Does the SHIFT key change the behaviour of the DELETE command? What causes the downloaded files to disappear? If this is the expected behaviour, wouldn't it be better to show a confirmation dialog that the downloaded file may be deleted as well?

SHIFT+DEL key combination deletes file from disk too, EVEN if download was completed.

DEL key removes (or not, depens on settings) only uncompleted files.

Thanks for the explanation but I think that there should be a warning if there is a resk of losing the downloaded file.
