Cpanel Filemanager Feature or Bug?

[lorio]

When you e.g. want to compress a directory and change the path of destination
you will be asked "Are you sure you wish to delete this <directory>"? .

I don't know why the routine is triggered when just changing the path where the archive should be saved. Is there a purpose for that?

So my feature request is to remove this "feature".

Feel free to move it to discussion.

Haven't found a post about that strange behaviour. If you know a bugtracker id or a thread please post it. Thanks.

Hmm, I am not able to replicate this on 11.27, but we have done many improvements to File Manager for 11.27: CPanelVersion1128 < AllDocumentation/ChangeLog < TWiki

This seems more like a Bug. I recommend clicking on the "Bugs" link in the top-right corner of this page so we can have this properly analyzed. While this issue may already be resolved, this could also be an undiscovered issue we should resolve.
