<p>I second this. I also had a hard time figuring out how to empty
the trash bin.</p>
<p>The problem is exacerbated by the fact that the buttons wordings
are ambiguous. For example, when I mark everything and click
Delete..., I get this: <img
src="cid:part1.jxFzBKd6.UHk892ix@gmail.com" alt=""></p>
<p>Also, there is both an Undo button and a Restore button. I have
still not figured out what the difference is.</p>
<p>It is also ambiguous if the buttons at the bottom of the Trash
are actions related to what ever item/items are selected or to the
Trash bin as a while? <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Selected Items Permanently or All Items Permanently. I already
selected all items. This is confusing.</p>
<p>A low effort quick improvement would be to change the text on All
Items Permanently to "Empty Trash".</p>
<p>Better yet, have a separate button for "Empty Trash" because this
saves the amount of clicks. And emptying trash is likely the most
common operation being done in there.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>However, I think a proper fix is the following:</p>
<p>1: Provide a right click context menu on the Trash icon in the
Tree view that is "Empty trash". This aligns with how applications
typically implement this on all major platforms including Linux,
MacOS and Windows. <br>
</p>
<p>2: Provide a right click context menu on selected items in the
Trash bin that provides the following actions: "Delete
permanently" (should also happen if user presses Delete button on
keyboard) , "Restore item", "Open item" (previews the image - this
should also happen if user doubleclicks or presses Enter).</p>

Having opened the trash, the rather dark and small Delete... button, way over
on the bottom right is easy to overlook (at first). Once learnt, it's OK.
I don't use digikam every day, and I don't empty it'd trash that often, so I do
often forget how to. Eventually I remember it's somewhere inside the trash
can.
Having written a few GUI's, I would agree that it's sometimes difficult to
imagine the user's perspective ;-)

If photos in the wastebin require a manual deletion outside of dK,
that's fine, but I've no idea where to find it. I'm on Windows 10,
currently using dK 7.8.0.
Also regarding documentation, in 7.8.0 at least, the link to it from the
'Online Handbook' item in the applications Help menu doesn't work - it
takes me to a a KDE Documentation site where there's no information
about dK. I suppose this is a consequence of the documentation having
been recreated recently?
