Title: Recycle Bin never used
Post by: HiFiTubes on May 25, 2015, 09:22:41 pm: Just curious why JRiver never actually sends files to the Recycle Bin....noticed this for some time now, like years.

Yes, it has never worked for me.

Agreed but I haven't seen this come up for TV recordings from the Television page (via the left hand side pane in Standard View). Whereas if you delete a TV Show via Video > Shows (via the left hand side pane in Standard View), then you're presented with the delete options dialogue box. This inconsistent behaviour has caught me out before.

Thanks, mainly all files on Synology NAS but I do have some large internals and my OS SSD. Will remote to home and test now.

Too bad.

I seem to recall that the file would just be deleted without a prompt if it was over that size.

Post by: glynor on May 26, 2015, 12:01:19 pm: Windows itself typically prompts. I don't know if MC does, but yes, you can disable Recycle Bin support or alter the maximum size (typically 10% of the volume size) as well:
