Just discovered this change today when I could no longer delete files. I think this was mistake to remove the delete option from the generic file manager. If you were to use KDE's file manager dialog, you would have the option to delete or at least trash files. Those of us who use the generic file manager now have NO option to delete files, other than to use the command line (which also doesn't "trash" files) or a open a separate file manager.
Other historic Linux office automation products (for example Linux WordPerfect) have had delete options in the open dialog for many, many years. People who use the generic file manager are probably those that are more savvy, anyway (most people will have the Gnome or KDE dialog). If people here were so concerned that deleting really meant "delete" and that users can't understand that delete really means delete, then: 1) It could have been reworded to be "Permanently Delete File" 2) and/or have a warning on deleting action 3) and/or have an option in tools->options to disable delete This greatly inconveniences me and a lot of my users. :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525440 Title: [Upstream] LibreOffice Load/Save dialogue boxes delete files but dont use Trash Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Fix Released Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org If, in Tools > Options...> OpenOffice.org > General, you have 'Use OpenOffice.org dialogue boxes' checked, you get dialogue boxes that allow you to right click and Delete.
