Hi

Just wanted to report a bug which occurred under 3.2.1 (but is probably still here under 3.2.2) regarding the Workbench delete command.

I had installed xpk_user. In "novice mode", for some reason, it did install the .guide and a directory which appeared to have an empty title under the root directory of my Games: partition. (strange !)

Under the WB, I deleted the seemingly unnamed directory and... It apparently began a recursive deletion of the content of my Games: ! I immediately interrupted it and could find a few missing files here and there - for instance, all files of my root dir but only a single .info in the rootdir, the .info of a game drawer and inside of it, its executable etc. DAMN.

I guess that's a bug ? BTW, in which order does the WB delete remove the files of an FFS partition ? Wondering if there are files randomly missing from my various games sub-directories.....

:-)
