Description Michael G. Hansen 2009-11-27 19:05:48 UTC

Version:           1.0.0-beta6+svn (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Take an album which contains images and a text file. Delete all the images in the album, then delete the album -> you think the album was empty, but you deleted the text file (which was not shown).

I think digikam should warn the user when he deletes an album which contains files which are not shown by digikam.

Michael,

This file still valid using digiKam 2.4 ?

Comment 5 bugtracker_kde 2021-01-09 15:38:47 UTC

Is there a way to get a list of used file extensions?
I think a way to implement this would be to extend AlbumModificationHelper#slotAlbumDelete to build a file list of the album(s) to be deleted and to check if there are file that do not match with the standard image extensions. If files are found a warning is displayed and in case of confirmation the existing code continues. Otherwise the user needs to sort out the files manually.
