FreeCommander Forum

Whenever over the default option

Tools > Settings > File/folder operations > General > Delete > Windows

I choose

Tools > Settings > File/folder operations > General > Delete > Use FreeCommander

and I am in Detailed View [CTRL + F2] with on top of it turned on calculation of space occupied by folders [ALT + F9] and I deleted something then my view gets affected: I am thrown back to ordinary List [CTRL + F1] and the calculation option gets turned off

This happens both instantly when the process of deletion of a something minuscule like a single file ends and also when whole minutes past needed for sending to Recycle Bin tens of thousands of items [and also when I interrupt such lengthy process by pressing the Cancel button]



I am using Build 900 64-bit Donor Portable on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64

I think it's not a bug.

Try this:
- disable Automatic views
- or use Automatic views - for item <Default view> - View type, Sort on, and Show size of folders use option <No change>

If you're using Automatic view for any folder, and want to use different view temporary, you can use Lock view option.

You were very close and this most likely indeed is not a bug


Because, as it comes out, the culprit was

Column profiles > Columns settings... > Auto selectable views > Default view [ITEM ON THE LIST]

and its setting of

View type

which I surely / inadvertently must have switched to
from itd default value of
[which must have happened during my recent battles with automatically applied views for Recycle Bin system and This PC root folders]


So thank you for pointing me into right direction
