Does Not Confirm File Deletion

Post by CaravanOfTheOccult »

I'm using XnView Classic 2.51.7 (Xnview-win-small.exe installation) and whenever I delete a file there is no confirmation popup. Even though the box is checked under "Options->General->File Operations->Confirm File Delete"

No confirmation occurs. If I hit the delete key while sorting through vast amounts of pictures, the picture will just disappear to the recycle bin. I would prefer that this worked. Or maybe I'm not doing something right? Thank you very much for your efforts.

I installed the latest version of XnView Classic 2.52 (xnview-win-small.exe) and there's no confirmation upon file deletion either, just like the previous version.

I have the option checked under "Options>General>File Operations>Confirm File Delete".... that box is checked.

Still no confirmation popup box......

*SOLVED*

I right-clicked on my recycle bin on my desktop, then went to properties, and checked the "display delete confirmation".

I didn't know you had to have that RECYCLE BIN option set for confirmation.

Sorry for the confusion. My Bad.

Thanks for your program!

It’s good to know that the Recycle Bin settings affect file deletion confirmation in XnView. This will definitely help others facing the same issue. Appreciate you sharing this.
