ncmpcpp [SOLVED]

ncmpcpp is excellent, I have only one question.  Is it possible to delete multiple files in one go?  For instance, when i change space mode to select/deselect and select a bunch of files, and hit d, it only deletes the file currently highlighted.  Any ideas? Thanks

Re: ncmpcpp [SOLVED]

You actually described it correctly. Are you sure the items you want to remove from playlist are really selected?

Not remove from playlist, I'm talking about the delete from hd function in the browser window.

EDIT: But yes, they are selected, the selected items change color to pink.

Re: ncmpcpp [SOLVED]

check you ncmpcpp config in your ~/.ncmpcpp/config and find this line:

allow_physical_file_deletion = "yes"

I *can* delete physical files, but my problem is that only one at a time will delete.  If i select multiple files, still only the one highlighted by the cursor deletes.  Thanks for the replies.

Re: ncmpcpp [SOLVED]

yeah, ncmpcpp ignores selected items when it comes to removing them physically from disk. if you want the functionality you are talking about to be implemented, please fill a feature request bug at mpd mantis in ncmpcpp section.

Re: ncmpcpp [SOLVED]

Since he didn't mention it, I'd like to point out that the poster "unK" actually is the developer of ncmpcpp. So following his suggestion is probably a good idea.
