Description Patrick Silva 2020-08-07 11:47:00 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have a folder containing 1 hidden file
2. open this hidden file with Gwenview
3. send the file to Trash by pressing delete key

OBSERVED RESULT
Gwenview sends the file to Trash as expected but apparently nothing happened
because it is still showing the just deleted file

EXPECTED RESULT
After I repeat the same steps with a not hidden file, Gwenview switches to Browse mode and shows the empty folder where the deleted file was located. This behavior should happen after the steps above too.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?
