Bug ID: 431351
Summary: Hard to discover how to delete large files
Product: dolphin
Version: 20.12.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: darkt...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It's difficult/impossible for a user to delete a large file if the user didn't
know beforehand about shift+delete shortcut. This was observed by a
inexperienced user.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a file that doesn't fit in the Trash
2. User right clicks and is presented with "Move to trash" as the only option
allowing deletion
3. After clicking it, an error shows up in Dolphin that the file can't be
moved, with no hints how to proceed
OBSERVED RESULT
The user is left with the file still present with no way of knowing how to
actually remove it, without searching online for a solution or asking an
experienced user.
EXPECTED RESULT
Instead of a non-actionable error, there could be a prompt about deleting the
file instead. Ideally Dolphin wouldn't even give the option to move to trash if
the file is to large.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Again, I know this is solved by either using shift+delete or adding delete to
the context menu via settings, but this is coming from a new user perspective
that doesn't know about those things.
