[Digikam-devel] [digikam] digikam/main: Added comment about deleting albums. It is not possible to delete an album

[Andi Clemens]

What about handling the delete action like dolphin?
In dolphin, pressing the Shift key dynamically changes from the trashcan  
action to the delete action:
Rightclick an item and while the context menu is shown, press shift. The  
action will change.
