Hi all!

I just found that after my latest updates to 14.0.10 I lost the "Delete" funtionality in konqueror. When I do a right click on at file on a FAT32 usb thumbdrive, then the context menu pops up with the "Delete" entry greyed out. Pressing "<DEL>"-key consequently des not delete the file nor move it to the thrashcan. Pressing "<shift>+<DEL>" deletes the file.

Does somebody else see this, too?

I just upgraded a couple days ago, and I don't have that problem. Everything works the same as before.

The problem, however, may reside in the flash drive itself, and the fat32 filesystem. I've had problems with both flash drives and SD cards: sometimes they mount and behave normally, sometimes not. Do you have the delete function when you are using Konqueror with non-fat drives, such as your other hard drives?

You might dig up your konquerorrc file, where the delete function can be set or unset. You might be able to override other changes by changing that file.
