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
