            Bug ID: 431093
           Summary: Deleting a file in a 'Tag Folder' in Dolphin deletes
                    the file rather than removing the tag
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.12.0
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: tagwerk19 at innerjoin.org
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY:

    Deleting a file in a 'Tag' Folder, the file is deleted rather
    than the tag removed.

    This is a change in behaviour, could be considered a regression.

    Previously when in a 'Tag folder', highlighting one or a collection
    of files and pressing 'Del' removed the tag from the files
    (after asking for confirmation). Now the files go to the
    wastebasket (without asking for confirmation) or with shift-del
    the files are permanently deleted (after asking for confirmation)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

    Create a test file and apply a tag. Move to the 'tag folder'
    in Dolphin, highlight the file and press 'del'

OBSERVED RESULTS

    Pressing 'del' deletes the file

EXPECTED RESULTS

    Pressing 'del' removes the Tag

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

    Neon Testing:

        Dolphin : 20.12.0
        Plasma : 5.20.4
        Frameworks : 5.78.0
        Qt : 5.15.2
        Filesystem : Ext4
        Kernel : 5.4.0-58-generic 

    and Fedora 33:

        Dolphin : 20.08.03
        Plasma : 5.20.4
        Frameworks : 5.75.0
        Qt : 5.15.2
        Filesystem : BTRFS
        Kernel : 5.9.16-200.fc33.x86_64

    The earlier/expected behaviour is still there in Fedora 32

        Dolphin : 20.04.01
        Plasma : 5.18.5
        Frameworks : 5.73.0
        Qt : 5.14.2 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    I think there's a regression here:

    If you are in one folder (a 'Tag' folder) and you delete a file,
    it disappears from a completely different folder. You may not
    notice and you may lose the file. That is bad...

    If you delete a 'Tag Folder' itself, the tags are removed from
    the files (so, the "earlier" behaviour), the files referenced are
    not deleted

    The alternative view is that you consider a 'Tag Folder' like a set
    of search results. In this case if you delete a file from the pane
    of search results, it is indeed the file that is deleted
