Special delete command changed its behavior

Help & Support
1

Following command used to work in a different way some while ago. If i use it now, instead of deleting the items immediately, each item would be opened in the process (for example text files), which isn't intended & is distracting. What could be the reason?

@ifpath:(H:\*|(K:\Bilder(|\*))|L:\*|M:\*|N:\*|coll://)
Confirm MSG="Enter '123' to continue!" PW=123
Confirm MSG="are you sure?" "\n" ICON=warning BUTTONS="yes|abort" ITEMS={allfile$}
@Confirm really?|yes|abort
Delete REMOVECOLLECTION=auto
@ifpath:else
Confirm MSG="are you sure?" "\n" ICON=warning BUTTONS="yes|abort" ITEMS={allfile$}
@Confirm really?|yes|abort
Delete REMOVECOLLECTION=auto SHIFT RECYCLE

When did it change?

Can you simplify the example? Surely all of that isn't necessary to reproduce what is happening. Simplifying things often reveals the cause by itself.

Nothing I can see there looks like it should launch anything in a text editor, but I can't speak for the Confirm script add-in as I'm not familiar with everything that it does.

It changed maybe since the second last beta, or the one before. It is not openeing things in an editor. What i mean, if i try to delete three .txt files, instead of just deleting them right away, each file would be opened, as if i had clicked on them.

What do you mean by simplify? I'd rather not change the code for a test at the moment. But as i re-tested it, things worked again.

But i think i've just found the reason: i am using the keyboard, & as it seems, pressing ENTER with the delete button selected does not work on that button, but rather acts as applying ENTER to the files below, thus opening them. If i try to use the accelerator keys, it fails for some reason. It's like the box wouldn't have the focus at all.

& Sorry, i couldn't find the function to quote stuff.

I have to add, that using the ENTER key works ok, except for the last part, the "delete" button.

Just highlight the text you want to quote and when you stop highlighting, a "Quote" button will appear. Since our editor is live at the bottom, you can still highlight more stuff and quote it.

We think we have reproduced this and will have a fix in 12.3.5 beta.
