Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |n...@kde.org --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- Every action is undoable, and all potentially destructive actions show a confirmation dialog. Even moving items to the trash shows a confirmation dialog. Now, yes, the user may not notice what they have selected. They may not read the dialogs. They may not know how to undo. They may bypass the trash and delete directly for whatever reason. But eventually you have to treat the user as an adult and expect that they take responsibility for their actions in an environment where there are already reasonable safeguards. This is especially true for users who use the dangerous "delete immediately" action. If you use that, you ought to know what you're doing and be paying attention. There's a reason why it's not the default deletion action and why the trash paradigm exists. If you deliberately bypass the safeguards and do something potentially dangerous, it's on you to make sure that you don't blow anything up. If we add more safeguards, people will start to complain that the warnings slow them down. If we remove the "select previous folder when going back" behavior, people will complain about that, because it will interfere with their ability to use keyboard navigation. The one thing I think we could do here is to make undo more obvious by displaying a little tiny (emphasis on tiny) time-limited notification inside the UI with an undo button in it after move, copy, deletion (etc.) actions. A lot of mobile apps do this to increase the discoverability of their undo actions for deletion in particular, and I think it's a good UI innovation. Do you think that would help? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
