The issue seems to be related on : http://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-6192?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel#issue-tabs

But this time, I have a weird issue which sounds like this (although with a small variant) :

A user is defined as Coordinator on a site. He loads documents in mass through CIFS and it works correctly … but he can't delete those file after the loading. He's the creator of them so … it's related on preview / thumbnails generation ?

Is this the same issue ???

Thanks for your reply !

I do have the same issue.
All file operations where done through the Share interface
Coordinator (or a collaborator owner of the file ) cannot delete a file in a Site (Share running on community 3.4.b/RedHat)
Admin account can so my users ask me to do it as admin…
So, another basic functionality that does not work right (I am still mad about the single pdf upload that crashes the JVM)
Please keep me posted if you find a solution.

Does anyone have any log files for this issue? Or a way to reliably reproduce it (e.g. has someone else commented on the file beforehand?) Maybe dump the output of Explorer's node browser to see if that helps.

I think that's the bug in PDFBox that we're trying to help fix.

Thanks,

Is there any news on this issue? As I mentioned in another post http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=37928, I think I have the same problem in 3.4.d. I made all the users admin to work around this problem. Or has anybody a better work around? By the way all users where Coordinators before I made them admins.

How can I delete a file that has been 'uploaded' this way and the share interface won't let me delete?
