Disable module and send to trash

Post#1 by Olaf » 04 Dec 2018, 15:12

Hi,

on sending an active module to the trash the system shouldn't deactivate it first?

OTOH, the Porteus modules browser has an option to not show modules sent to the trash?

It's up to the user to do before moving or deleting the module.

Not that I am aware of but then again I never move files to trash, I delete them. What modules browser are you using?

yes, I know but maybe the OS should warning doing so.

Just the one in System tools->Porteus modules option. I should call it screen better than browser...

Thanks.

But if the Porteus Modules app excluded trash files it could be excluding modules still active and maybe files that shouldn't be there. ;)

I know but it should not happen if modules were deactivated on trashing.

Anyhow not a big issue, I can live with it.

Thanks.
