[MU4 Issue] Can't delete sounds in Muse Hub
Describe the bug After you have downloaded a soundset through MuseHub, when you mouse over the tick sign you get a message "Press Alt and click to uninstall. i.e.
However, this does not do anything. No progress bar, nothing. The files remain in the "Bin" directory" and when you reopen Muse Hub the sounds are shown as present.
Expected behavior
There should be a visible sign of progress and the files should be deleted.
Platform information
Linux Mint 20.1 (Cinnamon)
Same for me on Linux Debian. Works on Windows.
As a workaround, I can manually delete the appropriate folder from /src/muse-hub/downloads, and this seems to work in the sense that the space is reclaimed and I can then redownload. But, I suspect the .instruments file in that same folder also should be updated and I have no clue how to do that.
Can you verify if this is still an issue on the latest updates? Preferably, remove the /src/muse-hub folder in its entirely first to ensure there is not any old information here.
Thanks!
If I delete that folder, then there is no more checkmark by the installed sounds. I only see the checkmarks if the folder is present. But Alt+click continues to not work for me on Linux. I updated Friday and tried to update again today but don't see any new updates.
Either I'm going crazy or something changed recently (or both). There is no mention of "Alt" in the tooltip when I hover over the checkmark icon; it just says to click the trashcan. And it works now.
FWIW, it worked that day only. Then again one day a couple of weeks later. Then again just now. But 95% of the time it does not. I have reported this on Zendesk as well now - see https://musehub.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/community/posts/8655855115549-Alt-Click-does-not-remove-sounds-on-my-Linux-systems
Muse Hub issues are now being handled elsewhere, so will be closed here. If this issue is still valid, please raise it here. You can link to this GitHub issue if it provides useful context or discussion.
