Delete Deleting files and folders are sometimes an irreversible action. This is always the case when working on remote network mapped folders, inside archives or on remote FTP sites. Depending on your recycle bin settings you may or may not be able to recover files deleted from your local folders.
It is recommended that inexperienced users leave these options in their default state.
By default Magellan Explorer will ask for confirmation when deleting more than one file, or one or more folders. You may change these settings by checking the appropriative boxes.
You may have files selected outside the visible area of the folder window that you are not aware of (this is especially true with when using sticky selection). Magellan Explorer can warn you every time you try to delete files that are outside the visible area if you check this option.
Copy & move
Magellan Explorer can prompt for confirmation whenever you attempt to move or copy files. This can be useful as a sanity check to ensure you have the correct folder window active etc. By default no confirmation is required for these actions.
Rename, Copy As, Move As and Clone
Magellan Explorer can also prompt for confirmation whenever you attempt to rename files. By default no confirmation is required for this action.
If you change the extension of a file you implicitly change the way Windows and your application interprets the contents. This may therefore render it useless by accident, unless you rename the file back to the original extension. Magellan Explorer can help prevent this from happening by issuing a warning whenever you attempt to change the extension of a file.
