can't "delete from disk" via shortcut key
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Assign a shortcut key to "currently.playing track => Delete from Disk".
- Play a song / playlist
- Press the shortcut key.
I tried with "Shift+Delete" key combo, and then just "Delete".
What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible.
Couldn't find yet any consistency, BUT both scenarios are faulty:
scenario 1: A) nothing's going on. b) It should've had deleted the file. But the file keeps playing, and remains on the disk.
scenario 2: A) a popup message saying "delete?..." B) error - file is locked. C) result: file is never deleted.
Information about the software:
OS: Windows 10 Deadbeef version: 1.9.1 portable, installer, and latest nightly debug version (2022-08-31)
Background info
- maybe it's also a shortcut key problem. IDK.
- Maybe the problem is with Windows vs Linux: In Windows, opening a file for reading - locks the file. In order to delete it, it's possible to 1) skip to next song, 2) close the file, 3) delete the file.
I already eliminated the "portable vs installed" option, as both scenarios repeated in both forms
In Windows, opening a file for reading - locks the file.
Yes, most likely this is the root cause.
