[xubuntu-users] confirmation dialog when delete files from gui (thunar/nautilus)

[Joao Monteiro]

Hi

2 cents from a newbie... I select a file, right click and get a pop up menu
with a number of options... one of them is to move file to trash, another
is to delete. If I choose Delete I get a warning notification that the file
will be permanently erased.

Personally I'm quite happy with this, as there's no risk of accidentally
deleting the file forever, as it can always be restored from the bin.

So... the option is already there, Gustavo. If we start adding the same
option to every single menu, we'll end up with a heavily bloated GUI like
microsoft, in my humble newbie opinion.

I like GUI as well and I find the right click options brilliant for most of
the most used everyday tasks...

I'm using xubuntu xfce... and loving it ever more the more I use it :)

Joao
