Hi  there,

A couple of times if had the problem that I can only delete a file from the library or permanently. Everytime I selected the option inbetween which would delete the file from the library and send to the recycle bin, just nothing is happening.

I had this on my XP installation, on Vista it never happened (though Vista itself was a nightmare crashing all the time and I'm fully back to XP). Recently I wanted to raise the question about XP, but then installed version 403 and suddenly the deletion and sending to the recycle bin worked. But now I'm back to the old problem with 404.

Of course my recycle bin is active and I deleted everything in it, so there is enough space to put a five MB small file into it.

Any clues?

Many thanks and best regards,

Mighty A-MAN

I'm not sure.  We use pretty basic system APIs to do the recycle.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

By the way, when are you coming to JRiver to give rides in the RX-8?

Matt, I would love to come over, but it's a bit far away from good ol' Germany, isn't it? I rather might drop by when I pick up my ZR1 in the US and import it to Europe (it is so cheap over there, especially since the Dollar is only a few Euro-Cents these days ). The ZR1's engine doesn't rotate, but its cool nevertheless ...    The bad thing is "cheap" is relative and with my current cars and family growing, plus my wife hating the Corvette, this might just be a thing being permanently deleted from my internal HDD, no option to park it in the recycle bin and pick it out later again.   


Well, this recycle bin issue is really strange. Hopefully someone can help. I could live with not being able to select the permanent deletion, but not without being able to simply delete from the library and move to the bin.

All the best,

I'm a bit of a Corvette fan myself -- what other car can hit 180 mph and still get 30 mpg on the highway?

As for the new ZR1, I'm not too sure about the styling.  The plastic hood window, duck tail, and other body kit disrupt the clean lines of the coupe and Z06.  Hopefully it'll look better in person, but I think it'll be a while before any show up on streets around here.  I've only seen two new Z06's on the road these last couple years.

By the way, all this car talk has me too distracted to be any help with the original problem.  I guess sports cars are more interesting than recycle bins.

Hi Matt,

Well, I do love the Z06 and see them sometimes at a retailer in Hamburg. On the ZR1 I was going for power, not sure about the look either, but a supercar doesn't need to be "beatiful". I wouldn't call the RX-8 beatiful either, but cool (but unfortunately it's not a supercar, as it would need another rotor for that).  ;-)

Sometimes it's good to get a bit off-topic, a forum is for socialising as well I think.

HOWEVER, my problem is right now nagging me again. The PC has been restarted, everything is running from scratch and I can delete whatever I want and send to the recycle bin, but not from Media Center. If I want a workaround, I could only let MC show the location in the Windows explorer and move them from there and then delete from the library. But that's not what I call convenient.

I can't believe nobody else has this problem - WOW I JUST HAD AN IDEA WHILE WRITING THIS, TRYING IT OUT NOW.

OKAY, FOUND THE PROBLEM!

I was running Media Center with the German language text loaded in, because I do not understand English very well, I learned it from a book.      I just switched back to English and hey, now it's working again. So somehow the German language file loaded in is causing the problem. I guess this will allow you to get to the root of this issue and resolve it sometime in future?

It must have been the ZR1 and Z06 that inspired my brains to think about a possible language file issue.   

All the best,

Hi Matt (or anyone else of the MC Wizards),

Was my "bug report" of any use? Have you been able to track down the problem and is the updated German language file in build 410 linked to my reported problem?

Many thanks and best regards,

Mighty A-MAN

[Matt]

We tried but couldn't reproduce it.

Any other clues?  Anyone else?

[Mighty_A-MAN]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the heads-up.

Okay, I just tried again after installing the new build 410. I was running it with German text and tried to "delete from library and send to recycle bin". It DID NOT work.

I've changed the language setting to English and hey, what shall I say, the file got deleted from my library and sent to the recycle bin.

If you can't replicate that this is very strange and the only reason I can think of why this happens is that it has something to do with the OS' language, my XP is a German version of course.

Hey, any other Germans in here that have the same problem? I can't believe that this is happening on my machine only.

Cheers,

Mighty A-MAN

Please try again with build 419 or later.  This was fixed, and it might explain it:
Fixed: The "never show this again" checkboxes could cause issues when switching languages, like the file delete not working properly.

Hi Matt,

I wasn't available for a while, so I just saw this now. I will check it out as soon as possible with build 428 which I'm currently downloading.

Best regards,
