Delete only files and not folders?

Talers

Hi, is it possible to have an option that only allows deleting files and not folders?

Thanks

Talers Hi, is it possible to have an option that only allows deleting files and not folders?

How is that supposed to work for files selection when the user has selected both files and folders though? It would be possible to hide the contextmenu delete button for folders, but it wouldn't work for the multi-file selection, unless you disable the selection interface.

Talers And why doesn't it let me upload files to empty folders?

This I don't know, perhaps you have wrong permissions for created folders? That would be a server issue. I can only diagnose if you can send a link.

I see, hiding the context menu delete button for folders is a possibility. I'm going to try that.

Never mind about not being able to upload to empty folders, it was a problem that I created by mistake 🙂

Thanks for the help

Talers I see, hiding the context menu delete button for folders is a possibility. I'm going to try that.

That probably requires some specific CSS like this:

.cm-files:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="delete"] {
  display: none;
}

Talers

That works perfectly on the files list:

Now can you tell me how to do for the sidebar:

and for the folder action:

Thank you for the help 🙂

Talers Sorry, adjust the code a bit so it applies for all context menus:

#contextmenu:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="delete"] {
  display: none;
}

Talers

unfortunately that's doesn't work 🙁

Talers I forgot, we can't use :has([data-action="folder"]) for sidebar and topbar, because they don't have data-action="folder" 😆 Actually, they don't need to check :has() in the first place, because it's explicit that we are dealing with folders from these elements. Use this:

:where(.cm-sidebar, .cm-topbar, .cm-files:has([data-action="folder"])) [data-action="delete"] {
  display: none;
}

Only for .cm-files do we need to check that the contextmenu is for a folder and not a file. It should probably be easier to assign the CSS without complex CSS selectors.

Talers

That works perfectly 🙂
Thank you for the help.

For reference, if anyone needs this, here is the custom CSS I use to hide each individual action on the context menu:

.cm-files:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="delete"],
.cm-files:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="rename"],
.cm-files:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="move"],
.cm-files:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="copy"],
.cm-files:has([data-action="folder"]) [data-action="duplicate"] {
display: none;
}

.cm-sidebar [data-action="delete"],
.cm-sidebar [data-action="rename"],
.cm-sidebar [data-action="move"],
.cm-sidebar [data-action="copy"],
.cm-sidebar [data-action="duplicate"] {
display: none;
}

.cm-topbar [data-action="delete"],
.cm-topbar [data-action="rename"],
.cm-topbar [data-action="move"],
.cm-topbar [data-action="copy"],
.cm-topbar [data-action="duplicate"] {
display: none;
}
