Description Thorsten Mühlfelder 2006-05-09 11:05:15 UTC
Version:           SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

I do think the "delete file" option is rather dangerous for a music collection. I know that there still is a warning message before a file is deleted, however I can imagine that such a message is overlooked in a stressful situation. Furthermore most people don't read any questions in popup windows and if one of my friends is using my amaroK I can not control what he is doing. Especially if I have a party at home and some people may be drunk ;)

I know that "delete file" in the amaroK playlist is now dependend from the konqueror setting to show a real delete or the trash can in the filemanager. But this does not help because many people only use "Delete" and not "Send to trash" in Konqueror.

I think the best way would be an option to turn it off like in the konqueror:
"[] Show 'Delete File'/'Send to trash' context menu entry in the playlist"

I don't want to concentrate on not deleting the greatest songs on earth :)

Basically a dupe, I don't see much of a diff. No need to keep this open.

No, 98822 is about changing 'Delete File' to 'Send to Trash'. It is marked as resolved although the problem still exists.
As I said before many people only use "Delete" and not "Send to trash" in Konquerorbut don't want this "Delete files" button in amaroK.

I agree, it is a difference between the possibilty to manually disable "delete file" in the amarok playlist and an automatic change from "delete" to "send to trash" if it is changed for konqueror. All those people using the real delete in konqueror from time to time/always are not allowed to change amarok to not  show "delete file".

what about to let delete one file, but not to delete selected files?
