Bug ID: 506749
Summary: There's no confirmation on moving files to Trash by
default, not even for external drives
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 22.12.3
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
Reporter: proof87 at gmail.com
CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and open Dolphin
2. Mount an external drive
3. Move a (deletable) file to trash by mouse-dragging from the drive
OBSERVED RESULT
The file got PERMANENTLY deleted because trash-recovery was not enabled on the
attached drive and there was not even a confirmation dialog. This is
particularly bad because even an accidental release of the mouse button over
the Trashcan shortcut can cause data loss (which happened in my case).
After this I enabled confirmation dialog for moving files to trash.
EXPECTED RESULT
The confirmation dialog is opening every time by default to avoid accidental
permanent deletions (at least for those drives that don't have recovery
support).
