[Bug 95853] Re: Delete file in Nautlus - no warning
I think Nautilus' behaviour is correct. The behaviour is by design, and the confirm_trash option is doing what it is supposed to do: Request confirmation for the non-revertable actions Delete Trash and Delete files, but not for the revertable Move to trash. And guys, please stop speaking for the users - 10 vocal guys on a bug tracker don't represent a majority of users. That being said, I agree that a cluebar with an Undo button might be a useful _enhancement_ to Nautilus. But this whole discussion also has a downside. Nautilus is not the only program which can move files to the trash, so that option would either make the desktop more inconsistent, or it would have to be implemented in all applications that can send files to the trash. There might be another option: It's easy to monitor the trash, and act upon trash-related events, no matter which application caused it (Python code for having notification bubbles on trashing stuff would probably not be longer than this very post). So this feature would maybe better be implemented outside Nautilus. Of course, there is already an application that does exactly this: The trash applet. So one possible solution would be to provide an option to make this one more noisy, and maybe provide a trashing-diary with undo buttons. -- Delete file in Nautlus - no warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Mac_v, Sebastien, Holger, I understand your point of view, and I partly agree with you : basically, I think the way Nautilus runs is good. Deleting files is possible without asking confirmation each time, and asking confirmation only before the real deletion is really fluent... BUT, what makes me say that eventhough I like current Nautilus way of behaving, I'd prefer it to be changed is the discrepancy between Nautilus/Gnome and other major OS'es. Both Windows MacOS ask confirmation before both file deletion and trash emptying. Most people expect a confirmation at this point. For better usability, we shall meet this expectation AND make this feature customizable so that people like you (and probably me) can deactivate the confirmation before file move to trash.

After losing my entire movie collection due to an accidental deletion (how was I supposed to know half my hard drive was in the trash can when I emptied it?), the lack of a confirmation option may well be enough to get me to move back to Windows. It is absolutely absurd to me that an operating system as powerful and flexible as Ubuntu won't even give me the *option* to request a dialogue box before deleting items with one keystroke. I'm a huge fan of Linux, but this is probably a deal-breaker for me -- especially since this is a feature that's been requested for years from many users and still has not been implemented. If I can't find a workaround for this, I'll be forced back to Windows, because I simply do not have the time to continually restore all of my files from backup due to one accidental keystroke. -- Delete file in Nautlus - no warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is rather disappointing. First of all, we don't need notification bars, or fancy things to tell us we accidentally deleted something. Second of all, why is upstream so determined to change the mindset of the users? This is really simple, add a small option somewhere in the settings (it's not like there are an overwhelming amount of options already). Prompt for confirmation when sending a file to trash. Put a little check box next to it. Heck, you don't even have to make it checked by default. How hard is this?

[Bug 95853] Re: Delete file in Nautlus - no warning
We should differentiating the two ways of sending a file to the trash bin - dragging and dropping, or pressing the Delete key. In the case of drag'n'drop, it is not expected to confirm the file 'deletion'. This is the way it is done on MS Windows also. In the case of pressing 'Delete', I believe it is expected (by default!) to confirm the file operation. It is reasonable to include an option to disable the confirmation, either by a system setting, or by a 'Don't ask again' check-box shown on the confirmation dialog (unchecked when shown). File deletion confirmation when pressing 'Delete' is also used in MS Windows. I believe this is the expected behavior by the majority of users, especially new and inexperienced users. As said, more advanced users can disable this feature. The facts are that users accidentally delete files by pressing 'Del' button, and sometimes they don't notice that, as the icon just disappears (is there any sound played by default?). Later, after emptying the recycle bin, they realize it is gone. Some users don't know they should look the disappeared files there... there is nothing destructive for your datas there When a file is moved to the trash bin, the user considers it GONE. Not all users know to look for the files there, not all of them know they can restore it. Data should not be kept there, so being there means it is deleted. Moving it out from there is a restoration operation, not a normal arrangement of the user's data. -- Delete file in Nautlus - no warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Aside from the fat finger mistakes, there is the occasional confusion about which window has focus that can lead to an unwanted move to trash. -- Delete file in Nautlus - no warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 95853] Re: Delete file in Nautlus - no warning
Please take a look at my keyboard. My delete key is near the up arrow key so I delete accidentally many files. I reported this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but the answer was: because this is not windows, and because you can always go to the trash bin and undelete it again. :-) 1. This is not windows but files goes without warning or confirmation into Trash and there is no restore action so everything to go in the right place. If you delete a file and you don't remember the right location there can be a problem. 2. The chance to wrote accidentally a delete command into console is smaller than pressing del key. So I think is very dangerous. 3. This is delete, no creating accidentally a new file or whatever. Is not so hard to implement an option ( [] confirm deleting files) Please fix it... This behavior must be optionally. I want confirmation... I check option. Someone else don't want confirmation?... uncheck option. I don't like enforcements.

I agree! It should ask for confirmation before it deletes files! People can accidentally press 'delete' and delete files accidentally without even realizing it, that is dangerous! With lots of file in trash, people don't inspect all, and just click 'Empty Trash'. New users, if they expect to see confirmation dialog, and they don't, they can panic. Importance: Low?

Another vote for this one. I'm a pretty advanced user, and spent 5 minutes today looking for files that disappeared after I misclicked. Nautilus should definitely offer the option to confirm before moving or deleting. Displaying the details of the operation in the status bar would also be helpful (moved/deleted these files from dir1 to dir2). -- Delete file in Nautlus - no warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is irritating to me, I wish it would include a working toggle to enable a dialog warning when deleting files. At least remove the part in the checkbox description under nautilus prefs that says or deleting files since it doesn't work.

That's interesting because quite many NTFS-3G users complain to us developers about Nautilus moving deleted files to the .Trash-username' directory in the root of the NTFS volume they are not aware of: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#diskspace Given that many people are confused in either case, a reasonable default behavior seems to be - asking for confirmation - checkbox if the files should be permanently removed or moved to a __specified__ trashbin - potentially a checkbox if user wants the same confirmation windows in the future -- Delete file in Nautlus - no warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Things get even worse if you are working on a ntfs partition using ntfs-3g.

There is a discussion in gnome.org about this issue.
