File/folder operations (delete, move, etc) without counting files? Possible?

[urlwolf]

When doing File/folder operations (delete, move, etc) dopus (at least; I forget what exporer.exe does ) shows a windonw saying "counting files". This is pretty slow. Is there any way to skip this step? Any nice trick/software that can speed this up?

For example, if I want to obliterate a dir without being pestered by popups, is there any easy way to do it (a la rm -rf). No trash-can needed, either.

I hate when you get the "filename is too long or not valid" error, and the process just stops there -losing all the time it took to count files-. Or is the filesystem in windows that bad?

menu:

settings > preferences > file operations (left column) > deleting (tab)

you'll find most options there.

using shift key will delete without using recycle bin - using shift often prevent futher prompts appearing depending on the action.

i've not see that "fillename is too long..." error.

Cool stuff, that works. Nudone, you are a master of Dopus!
