File Delete Confirmation Dialog #32011
Comments
A confirmation dialog is as much more important if Please implement such a feature at minimum as optional (configurable) setting. |
Hi Guys, |
hi |
Interesting problem! One Drive and Dropbox have a confirmation dialogue for deleting files too. However, it seems intrusive to show a confirmation dialogue every time a file is deleted, since deletion is a common action. There is also a trash bin from which files can be recovered. We could definitely move the "Download" action up. Another solution is to have a notification with an undo button, similar to sending a message in Mail. This is also the behaviour for Google Drive. So a notification |
@nimishavijay I agrees that an undo popup would be the preferred solution in that case since showing a popup might be too intrusive and slow and as you said we have the trashbin for this case. However maybe there could be a differentiation between folders and files? So that to show the popup for folders and/or if multi-selecting and then clicking on the delete option? |
hi @nimishavijay intrusive... truly and if your are talking about deleting multiple files, selecting concerned files/folder with check box method(already present) could present a single confirmation box about select items. |
@nimishavijay @szaimen @jancborchardt That would be a sane compromise to move that issue forward I think? :) |
Yes, sounds like a good solution to me :) |
@skjnldsv yup, sounds like a good first step. :) |
If trash & file versions are disabled (which sometimes is required) then being able to delete entire folders of terabytes of data in a single click without confirmation is a HUGE issue. Absolutely nextcloud should ask users if they are sure - every time - if trash can and versions are disabled. This is a massive massive massive usability issue with tremendous danger of incredible file loss. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When we right-click on the files we have the last two options from the "Download" and "Delete" list. It is very common for our users to click "Delete" instead of "Download" and the files are deleted directly.
Describe the solution you'd like
When we click on "Delete" a popup window will open asking us to confirm if we really want to delete.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The "Download" and "Delete" buttons are no longer below each other.
Additional context
It's not necessary.
