Hi,

I have a folder filled with read-only files. When I select one file and press "delete", the file is sent to the recycle bin (after confirmation). However, when I press Shift+Delete and confirm, the file remains in the folder and is not deleted.

Windows 10, XNView MP 0.99.6 64bits (Dec 10 2021).

Kind regards,

Marlon

Thank you for your bug report, Marion.

I've just tried this out and can confirm this bug:

Deleting files that are not read-only works with both "Delete" and "Shift+Delete". Deleting files that are read-only works with "Delete" but not with "Shift+Delete".

PS: Until now I didn't even know that there is a difference in pressing "Delete" and "Shift+Delete". Difference is that "Delete" moves the file to recycle bin while "Shift+Delete" deletes the file (without moving it to the recycle bin).
