Description Mark Szentes-Wanner 2005-07-10 10:18:07 UTC 
Version:           Unbekannt (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-5)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-1-686

The confirmation pop-up for file/object deletion should also display the preview image (thumbnail) when available (besides the file:/... URL)

This way the user can more easily decide that the files are the ones she wants to delete.

If a single file is to be deleted, instead of the preview thumbnail, the more informative file info summary should be displayed (that's the hover tooltip which gets displayed in Konqueror). 

[Alternative: If several files are to be deleted, either the small preview thumbnails should be displayed or the bigger tooltip info as a list.]

This feature would be a usability enhancement.

Still today, I would really welcome this feature: a thumbnail of files/directories in the deletion confirmation dialog.
