            Bug ID: 498852
           Summary: "Extract here and delete" needs a warning confirmation
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: windows2linux at zoho.com

  Target Milestone: ---

When a user right-clicks to "Delete" a file, they are shown a warning message,
which they need to confirm to continue.

This is the sane approach, since it involves a *destructive* action.

When a user right-clicks and selects "Extract here and delete" for an archive
file, there is NO WARNING. It immediately extracts the contents and permanently
deletes the archive file.

I have accidentally lost original archive files because of this context menu,
not realizing it until later, after having edited and worked with the extracted
files. Thankfully, I had a backup of my data where I could retrieve the
original file again.

PLEASE. PLEASE. Any action that involves permanent destruction *NEEDS A WARNING
AND CONFIRMATION*.

I would even argue that this context menu needs to be *optional*, or at least
have a way to *disable* it. The fact that it's mandatorily shown and sandwiched
between two other non-destructive "extract" actions is poor design.

If a user really wants to permanently delete a file, they always have the
ability to do this anyways.
