Hello MC fans,
I've just started to organize my library on my new PC and I'm deleting many, many files. I like keyboard shortcuts and anything else in an interface that speeds up file maintenance and navigation.
I'm not thrilled with MC delete options:
In the Playing Now view, the only option seems to be to delete an item from the Playing Now list - no option to delete the file from disk. That's a nuisance to me, but adding to this inconvenience is How do I quickly get to the song in the library view in order to delete from disk?
In the Library view, it takes many keystrokes or 4 mouse clicks to delete a file(s) from the disk. Maybe I'm missing something - I hope so. This is the process - Press Delete (or Rt. click), window pops up asking me Remove from list, Remove to Recycle Bin, Remove from disk. By default the selection is to Remove only from list, so I have to use the mouse to click on the Delete from disk option. This is a very laborious mouse process when deleting several files in a session. Standard Tab/Ctrl Tab functions don't work here so using the keyboard is also quite involved. I've found that if hit Delete, and when Popup Window appears I hit Tab, Tab, then down arrow, down arrow, then click on Delete, I have duplicated what the mouse clicks do, thereby saving my wrist a bit.
I would love to see a hot key that actually does 'Delete' (with my removal method of choice). If a hot key isn't available, I'd at least like to be able to set the Default radio button that is selected with the delete command. Or minimally, retain the last action selected radio button . In addition to these wishes, the ability to Turn off certain Confirmation Messages would help loads.
I love this program and it's many features, but I've been going to another program to do a lot of my file maintenance (deletions) because I can do it so much faster using other applications. That is not acceptable to me!! - I want to use MC for all Audio tools. I'm sure I've overlooked something and that one of you can set me straight.
Thanks for any suggestions.
