MC11 randomly crashes on deleting files.  I cannot find a pattern.  Today I selected a playlist for rating 1 (my delete tracks)   I selected all the tracks, held down the shift button and selected the DELETE button from the upper tool bar. 

I selected the 3rd choice to delete and remove the files from the HD.  The files disappeared from the list and then moments later I got the Sorry MC has a problem....

The music continues to play until I clicked OK and then MC shutdown.

On restart, the files are GONE from the HD as expected, but the entries still exist in the library, with little red icons by the tracks.  Sometimes I can simply delete these tracks from the library, other times that causes another crash.

The only way I know to  really remove these deleted tracks from the library is to do an IMPORT which removes entries that don't exist on HD.

This problem has been going on for months with MC11.  Anyone else?




I do have my library in a non-standard location on a different HD.

Am I really the ONLY one having this problem?  If I am the only one, then it's got to be something different on my system... ?

I moved my library back to the default location, but I still get the random crashes on deleting files.

It seem seem like MC does delete the files from my hd, but it crashes when it's trying to up date my library - since the files are gone from my hd and when I restart MC, the entries are still in my MC library, but it knows they are not on the hd anymore since they show up with the little missing red icon.

If I choose delete again, MC will crash again.  If I then choose "import files", then MC will find these orphan library tracks and remove them.
