Why it is not justified? It makes seroius data loss, and is not fixed in stable. It is a first time in my more than 10 years of using Debian, that I see such big and devastating bug in any package, in any of Debian's distributions. I never expirienced such big data loss becasue of program error. > > > After setting up zim folder to some preexisting folder, > > I made a note, then delete it.

So why zim allowed me to do this? It looks so user-friendly, and aims at it, so should behave much more userfriendly also. You do not understand maybe, tha I deleted single note in zim, and zim deleted whole directory from file system, with all existing non-zim files. It was just a third minute, I was running zim. Anybody can, any second, do the same unfortunete choice if she/he is using stable. Please revert severity and subject. Please be kind, and make future users of zim in stable do not do the same error. One of the simplest fixes is to not use recursive deletion in zim. Other is to display list before actually removing files. Without this measures zim should not be in stable.
