2011-03-14 15:04:28 Paul Sladen description Binary package hint: nautilus SUMMARY If a file or a folder is selected in Nautilus and you accidently press Delete button, they are moved to the Trash. NO warning is issued (even though in Nautilus Preferences "Ask before emptying the Trash or deleting files" is selected ) Very annying and dangerious bug to a common user - I deleted very important data without realising then cleaned the Trash, so lost that information. NOTES For example, Konquerer asks you if you want to delete a file or a folder. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Mar 25 11:36:22 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 Uname: Linux acer 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Wed Mar 21 20:55:46 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux SUMMARY If a file or a folder is selected in Nautilus and you accidently press Delete button, they are moved to the Trash. NO warning is issued (even though in Nautilus Preferences "Ask before emptying the Trash or deleting files" is selected ) Very annoying and dangerous bug to a common user - I have deleted very important data without realising then cleaned the Trash, so lost that information. NOTES For example, Konquerer asks you if you want to delete a file or a folder. DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 and up POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS a. In comment #92 Matthew Paul Thomas notes that a better solution to the problem of it being too easy to delete (move to Trash) files/folders with a single keypress would be to change the keypress to be a combo. For example the combo could be Ctrl-Delete. b. In Comment #107 (and also earlier in the thread), Giorgio Gilestro supplies a patch to add another configuration key ('/apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_delete') and accompanying user interface components to make single key deletion require a dialogue box pass-through. c. Perhaps you have another possible solution, that deals with the core problem without impeding the workflow of others. c/.

SUMMARY If a file or a folder is selected in Nautilus and you accidentally press Delete button, they are moved to the Trash. NO warning is issued (even though in Nautilus Preferences "Ask before emptying the Trash or deleting files" is selected ) In comment #39, Holger Berndt notes that the present behaviour is intention. Moving an item to the Trash is a revertible action, whereas emptying the Trash is not revertible. However, this can be very annoying and dangerous bug to a common user - a user may have pressed "Delete" to move very important data to the Trash, and then, without realising the previous action have cleaned the Trash, so permanently loosing that information despite there being a two-step (and partially revertible) process. NOTES DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.04 and up POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS In comment #38, David Siegel notes that the options would be ripe for some proper user testing research and design. a.
