Public bug reported: In Geary, every single time I go to delete an email, I get a confirmation dialog. This unnecessarily spams users with dialogs-- especially if they're triaging a lot of email--and makes it more likely that they'll skip over/not read them.
In elementary, we handle this by providing an easy undo instead of confirmation dialogs. This means users aren't spammed by dialogs but can still not delete something if they somehow hit the button by accident. It's part of our HIG: http://elementaryos.org/docs/human-interface- guidelines/always-provide-an-undo Gmail on the web behaves similarly, as does Android. Here's a really good article that looks at confirm vs. undo: http://alistapart.com/article/neveruseawarning ** Affects: geary (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ux ** Attachment added: "Delete confirmation dialog" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379459/+attachment/4229895/+files/Screenshot%20from%202014-10-09%2011%3A58%3A17.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379459 Title: Provide Undo instead of Confirm Delete dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geary/+bug/1379459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
