delete only after Closing Explorer++

Post by pzaw »

hi,

I love explorer++'s bookmarks.
Wish I could have more then one line of bookmarks.
I have tried to convince my son that explorer++ is better then sliced bread but when he sees me struggling to
simply delete a file or folder he says I told you so and it looks very bad for Explorer++.

Anyway, I was just wondering whether the problem I am having is a normal one or a bug.

Say for instance I create a TEMP folder and unzip stuff into it.
After I do stuff with the files in the TEMP folder I close the TEMP folder, select another folder
then I right click on the TEMP folder on the tree pane and select delete to remove the folder.

Now, it comes up with a message saying it can't be deleted because an application is using it.
I check everything nothing is using it. No files from the TEMP folder is being used.
The Temp folder is not opened in Explorer++ but it keeps saying something is using it.

I then shut down Explorer++ and restart it and this time it lets me delete the TEMP folder.
This happens all the time.

It looks to me like when explorer closes a folder sometimes it does not release it although in the gui it is closed.
Is this normal?
Am I using the wrong procedure to delete a folder. or my settings incorrect?
Is this a bug that we have to live with?

It would be strange it it is only happening to me.
Any help would be appreciated.
