Files deleting from computer when dragging to playlist

Postby Cavi Mike » Mon Jan 02, 2017 2:24 am

I can only assume this bug has to do with SMPlayer's new ability to delete files with the playlist. I'm not exactly sure why this option was even added to SMPlayer. Why would I want to give SMPlayer that much power over my computer? I just lost 3 entire seasons worth of tv shows from my computer before I realized what was happening. I'm reverting back to VLC player until this is fixed.

That's strange because smplayer asks for confirmation before deleting anything and it can only delete one file at a time. Maybe were the files moved to another folder while you tried to drag them to the playlist?

The option was added because some users asked for it, however maybe this function it's outside of the scope of smplayer, since this is a media player and not a file manager, and maybe I should remove it.
