LBC delete the target instead of shortcut
« on: March 08, 2019, 09:42 PM »
Drag & drop a desktop shortcut to an LBC dock (the shortcut target is a .exe file) to create a command item.
Right click the item and delete it.
It delete the .exe!!!
But I will delete the item on the dock only.
How to do it?

Right-click deleting an item in LBC should never delete the original file.

Ok that's a good find.. I would consider that highly undesirable and will endeavor to fix it.
I guess now that I think about it, it's happening because LBC is showing the context menu of that item just as if you had right clicked on it on the desktop.. But yeah, that could lead to some real unpleasantness.. I will try to have an update asap.

I have disabled the delete/cut/rename functions from the context menu; will be in the next release.
