Bug ID: 429251
Summary: Use Consistent Command for the Same Action
Product: dolphin

SUMMARY
In Dolphin, there are various actions that need a semantic parallel to let the
user know more consistently about what actions they are taking and what that
means. For example:
We have the delete action:
1. Delete
2. Move to trash
3. Trash operation complete
4. Undo trash
This section should probably have stronger indications that to Trash is to send
files to the trash bin, while the Delete action skips the trash bin and erases
a file from the system.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Delete forever
2. Move to trash
3. Moving to trash complete
4. Undo move to trash
This way, the user gets a sense of the differences in approach.
Another is the Properties right click menu item:
Properties is non-specific and can be difficult to understand the properties of
"what" you are reviewing. If the user right clicks the folder pane in an empty
area, the menu item says "Properties". If you right click a folder the menu
item says "Properties". If you right click a file, the menu says "Properties.
While consistent, it is also non-specific.
I suggest adding a modal word next to it that identifies the element. For
example:
File Properties
Folder Properties
