#45 File Delete is permanent
This is more a combination "bug" + feature request, but I believe a very important one. This is a real problem!
Right-clicking files in left pane file list, then clicking delete actually permanently deletes files from Windows. The files are not placed in the recycling bin. Action cannot be undone as far as I have been able to tell.
A) There should be a warning that the actual Windows files will be removed.
B) There should be SOME way to undo it, even if it just means we must get them out of the recycling bin.
C) (Feature request) Could you please add a "remove" option just for clearing files from the list in that pane, instead of only delete? The only way I've found to clear files from that list is to relaunch the program. Am I missing something? Thank you.
Discussion
A, B) Thanks for the report. Probably it is a better idea to move the files to the trash instead of deleting them. I have implemented this for all supported platforms, the code is now in Git.
C) In the current development version of Kid3, the file list is updated when the file system changes, so its contents should always be correct. I hope that this is what you want.
Fixed in version 2.0.
