Re: Help - Cannot delete a folder
Alain Farmer wrote: I think it does. You could test by creating a single empty folder in the finder, and then seeing if MC will delete it. Excellent methodology, Jacque. You're a PRO! Alas, I tried this TOO and it failed. Therefore, I can only conclude, [at this point], that MetaCard 2.5 *has* the bug you speak-of. Drats! I will have to work-around it, I guess; unless someone (..ideally a MC 2.5 user) can suggest a *hack* around this old bug. Thank you *kindly*, however, for remembering this obscure-fact for me. :-) Unfortunately, I just searched the bug database and there are no reports in there about delete folder not working. That isn't to say the bug didn't exist, only that it isn't in the Rev database. I just did a test with my old copy of MC 2.5 and it worked fine. The test folder I created on the desktop deleted without incident. This was in OS X however, I didn't actually test in OS 9, as I was too busy to set up one of my old machines right now. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
Re: Help - Cannot delete a folder
THANKS, Jacque. :-) I can't believe HOW-MUCH work you have done on this, for me. WOW! You are truly One-of-a-kind!, Jacque. The Spirit-of-HyperCard still inhabits you! ;-) It's like The Force, only BETTER! ;-) P.S.: As it does with Brian Yennie, as well. :) I'm still hoping for a HACK (e.g. a work-around), to keep things simple, but of-course this a a WISH that may, or may not be, do-able. I'm a BIG optimist, though, so I'll wait some-more for providence to smile upon me once again, as it often has in my Life. :-) Worse-comes-to-worse, I'll finally upgrade to MacOSX! ... Anything's possible! ;-) Thanks for the help [so-far] , Alain Unfortunately, I just searched the bug database and there are no reports in there about delete folder not working.
