Thanks for create this program,Docfetcher is a useful search tool!
I have used for many days, it's great!
sometimes i have to delete files in the search results(double files or rubbish),if i can delete file easier, it will be nice.
Thank you again。

oh，maybe you can add a option to show the delete menu。i got svn edition source code，and studied a few days。now i even could not compile the source code successful。now，i will get git edition source code。i know so little about java，it will be a hard work。i used about 5 days to prepare and setup eclipse and jdk，it is the first time to use java。thank you all the same。
bye the way the compile error shows；
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:
The method load(InputStream) in the type Properties is not applicable for the arguments (InputStreamReader)
Note that I probably won't add your modification to the official source code, as doing so would require quite a bit of extra work regarding the deletion feature, such as:
1) Showing a confirmation dialog, i.e. "Do you really want to delete this file?".
2) Moving the file to the trash bin, instead of simply deleting it. Moving to the trash bin must also work on all supported platforms, i.e. Windows, Linux and OS X.
3) The deleted file must be removed from the index.

Hello, with all respect, is it possible to add the deletion feature to the settings?
That way inexperienced users will not be able to access the feature.
If you can't add the deletion to a regular version, perhaps you could add it to the PRO version?
Thank you very much for the wonderful product!!

Thank you for the prompt response Nam-Quang.
I'm a developer, and implementing the Delete function is very easy, but
this would give a huge boost to sales of your professional product.
You could add a deletion to the settings menu, that way you would prevent
someone inexperienced accidentally using it.
You could potentially add some more functionality like in Total Commander,
and your tool would be indispensable.
Thank you for patiently reading this!
Just IMHO, and with a huge respect!

Yes, the feature is relatively simple, but there's just no developer capacity right now to implement the mountain of feature requests that are already there.

Hi,
a delete feature was omitted on purpose in order to prevent accidental data loss caused by users not fully understanding how to use the program.
In addition, please see the question "Can you please add feature XY?" on the DocFetcher FAQ.
Best regards

thank you all the same， i know the svn edition code is not maintained anymore，i will get git edition to have a try 啊。

I'm sorry, there are currently no plans to add this deletion feature.
