Common logic is you don't hardcode a context item to send archives to the trash if protecting against accidental data loss is really the priority. When you're dealing with a lot of files in a folder, this operation (without asking for confirmation) sends the file straight to the trash, and sometimes I don't catch it. What if I then empty the trash? What if I only needed to review and work with some files temporarily, which I later intentionally delete? If I had missed/forgotten about the original archive that got trashed, then I am SOL. (Really baffles me why this menu item is displayed by default, and without a means to disable it. If anything, a user should have to *opt in* for this menu item to be shown, since it involves deletion.) I know the devs don't find this constructive, but with what has been happening with KDE recently (especially without *options*), I'm seriously considering just fully migrating to COSMIC when it releases. I *don't* want to. I really don't. I've been using KDE for a very long time. I think it's the best Linux desktop environment, especially for its many options and customizations. It's sobering to see what's happening to basic mouse and keyboard usage, and what feels like change for the sake of change. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
