Unable to delete folder open in MC
« on: August 18, 2013, 15:01:30 »
Hello,

when I have opened some folder in MC (ie. D:\Test\Test1) and any other program wants to delete this folder or directory in higher level (ie. D:\Test), program throws an exception, that folder is used.
I tried this scenario with Explorer and there is no problem (path is updated to the first existing directory).

Is there any possibility to change directory access rights in MC like in Explorer?

Thanks Lukas.

MC do not lock current folder. so not sure what that should happen.
However after you enter a folder It will go out and get icons and other information from the files there in the background and removing before it is done might be an issue.

I tested it again and sometimes explorer does it well.
Needs a time to release the directory handle...that's the problem.
