Additional context
this is odd
-used to works on same computer and setup
-doesn't work wither the file is in library or not.
-even after reindexing the whole library

it is build without KDSingleApplication

[jmsalvat]

same if build with KDSingleApplication
by the way what is KDSingleApplication for?

same for strawberry-1.0.22 qt5
strawberry-1.0.23 qt6 and KDSingleApplication
strawberry-1.0.23 qt5

actually delete from disk does delete file only when file is playing.
this is odd
I expect it to delete any file
playing or not ,
in database or not
when file is in playlist...
Am I wrong to assume this?

This does not make sense. The delete feature works fine here. This is most likely a system related issue, not a bug in strawberry. Check file permissions, etc.
When deleting files in strawberry, it uses the trash, if the trash on the system is not working or is disabled it might cause an issue.

This does not make sense.

agreed

The delete feature works fine here

on my laptop it does work fine too
on the desktop it used to work fine.. not anymore

file permissions ok
inode ok
trash ok
no problemes on os/DE(KDE5)

could this be a database related problem?

I got this

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
I finally nailed it
the trash was the issue.

other than the /home/user ,
I had another mounted filesystem as root and a user directory with music files in it.
strawberry can not create .trash directory then can not use it then do not delete

solution:
do not have top mounted directory as root but as strawberry user
or create a trash directory with good permission for strawberry user at the root dir of the mounted filesytem

I was only checking the home/user trash forgot that trash could be created on others filesytem.

I am closing this bug

opening a new one about as I think in accordance to freedesktop trash spec strawberry should issue a warning in such case
