Recursive delete isn't implemented on windows, though there is a patch to resolve this. see: https://developer.blender.org/D531 I'm not aware of some official rationale for this, but it moves to making Blender a full fledged file-manager, (should we add ability to copy/move files & directories too?). Currently we only have a few simple operations which are convenient for managing texture & blend file names, but for more advanced operations I think its better if we don't attempt to be a real file-manager. Other devs may have different opinions on this though. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
