Bug ID: 431093
Summary: Deleting a file in a 'Tag Folder' in Dolphin deletes
the file rather than removing the tag
Product: dolphin
Version: 20.12.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
Deleting a file in a 'Tag' Folder, the file is deleted rather
than the tag removed.
This is a change in behaviour, could be considered a regression.
Previously when in a 'Tag folder', highlighting one or a collection
of files and pressing 'Del' removed the tag from the files
(after asking for confirmation). Now the files go to the
wastebasket (without asking for confirmation) or with shift-del
the files are permanently deleted (after asking for confirmation)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a test file and apply a tag. Move to the 'tag folder'
in Dolphin, highlight the file and press 'del'
OBSERVED RESULTS
Pressing 'del' deletes the file
EXPECTED RESULTS
Pressing 'del' removes the Tag

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think there's a regression here:
If you are in one folder (a 'Tag' folder) and you delete a file,
it disappears from a completely different folder. You may not
notice and you may lose the file. That is bad...
If you delete a 'Tag Folder' itself, the tags are removed from
the files (so, the "earlier" behaviour), the files referenced are
not deleted
The alternative view is that you consider a 'Tag Folder' like a set
of search results. In this case if you delete a file from the pane
of search results, it is indeed the file that is deleted
