Does not delete videos from content folder

[Odia1]

I would like to trim the video content size by removing certain sections like, say, GMAT. The admin interface seems to allow selecting and asking to delete. But when I check the content folder size it does not shrink, although the admin interface said the videos were deleted. Later restart of ka-lite shows all the videos (the original set without any deletes).

Hi @Odia1, which version of KA Lite are you using, and what is your operating system?

[Odia1]

I am using it on Windows-10 . ka-lite version is 0.15.1

@MCGallaspy I am happy to try and see if I can debug this if you can point me in the right direction?

Hi @dakkad are you able to replicate @Odia1's error? I would start with that, and I would try to identify which lines of code are responsible for deleting videos -- I can help you with the latter task.

Just a guess, but maybe this LOC fails, raises an exception, and then the exception is ignored. :(

If you're able to replicate the original error, I would start by either setting a breakpoint there or removing the try-except block (so that the exception isn't squelched) and seeing if that LOC does indeed raise an exception.

Hi Guys, I have another question/issue: Can I add a second administrator? Is there anyway for a user to self-change password (I know the admin can change it for a non-admin)?

Thanks

Yes, run the kalite.bat manage createsuperuser command and follow the prompts. You'll find the kalite.bat script in your /Python27/Scripts directory, wherever you installed Python.

Is there anyway for a user to self-change password

No.

Sorry for the delay, I will see about getting KA-Lite running on a VM over the weekend.

Hmm. This could be a bit tricky for me as I am a nix bod with not a lot of experience on Windo$e recently. Is it worth me trying to replicate it on nix?

Is it worth me trying to replicate it on *nix?

Yes.

@radinamatic Please verify that this is fixed in 0.16.

[Odia1]

Will do

Deleting seems to be working fine on 0.16, no JS or user alert errors, deleted videos non present in content folder.

I'd say it could be closed, but if we are aiming for pre-release this week, let's wait so I can test it with Windows installer! @MCGallaspy

Confirming this is fixed in 0.16.
