Am I missing something, or has the option to delete file been removed from the context (right click) menu in Gotham? Also, I no longer see the option to bring up a menu when I hit "ok" instead of just playing. I did just do a reinstall and was previously running Frodo, so I guess it's possible that there's a setting I need to change?

File deletion is off by default. To turn it on go to XBMC -> Settings -> Appearance -> File lists -> allow file deletion.

I have that setting turned on, I can delete a file, but when I update library, it shows again (is not deleted physically). Anyone else has this problem ?

The Debug Log may say something when you delete something from your library. Note you'll get multiple prompts in that case - one to remove from library, the second to confirm that you want to delete the files.

If you don't get the second prompt, it's probably due to it being on a read-only network, or that you don't have the above setting enabled.

Thank you, Ned!

Yes, I get multiple prompts, files are on a local hdd (Windows 7) and "allow file renaming and deletion" is checked. This is in the log:

hi

XBMC -> Settings -> Appearance -> File lists -> allow file deletion is missing from my menu. How do I go about activating it?

Thanks!
