SUMMARY I use "Delete permanently" with Shift+Del a lot. Somewhere between version 8.1.0 and 8.8.0 the focus changed from Delete button to Cancel button which is very annoying to me because I can't press only Enter anymore to delete. So most times I have to press Shift+Del again because I pressed Enter so fast that the window closed and I have to remember that the focus changed… STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open digiKam 8.8.0, select an image and press Shift+Del. 2. Observe which button is focused. 3. Open digiKam 8.1.0, select an image and press Shift+Del. 4. Observe which button is focused. OBSERVED RESULT digiKam 8.8.0: The button Cancel is focused. digiKam 8.1.0: The button Delete is focused. EXPECTED RESULT The button Delete should be focused as before. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS digiKam: 8.8.0 KDE Frameworks: 6.17.0 Qt: Using 6.9.1 and built against 6.9.1 Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS (Xcb) Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 Kernel: linux 6.17.0-19-generic
This was a user request submitted via a bug report. The reason given was to make accidental deletion more difficult. For permanent deletion without using the trash, I left the focus set to the Cancel button. For deletion via the trash, I reverted this change, as undoing or restoring is possible. Since two user requests conflict here, there will be no change. And no, we will not make it configurable either. Maik
