They didn't remove the "delete" function until 4.3 and this is only for those people using the "generic" file dialog (you typically won't see the generic file dialog if you are using KDE or Gnome). I am attaching a picture of what the generic dialog looks like in 4.2- you can delete files by pressing <Delete> or by right clicking. > I would prefer it to behave like Nautilus (now called Files) for consistency > sake, but I am not going to object to what has been done You are not objecting probably because you still have the option to remove a file in some way, which people using the newly "improved" generic file dialog cannot. I don't think you are even using the generic one and thus this doesn't even affect you. But it does affect me at work, and all my users, who will now be forced to open a separate file manager PROGRAM (such as Thunar) just to delete a file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525440 Title: [Upstream] LibreOffice Load/Save dialogue boxes delete files but dont use Trash Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org If, in Tools > Options...> OpenOffice.org > General, you have 'Use OpenOffice.org dialogue boxes' checked, you get dialogue boxes that allow you to right click and Delete.
