Hi Thorsten,

I really agree with the analysis you've posted to that discussion, I
arrived to the same conclusions:

------- Additional Comment #20 From Thorsten Schnebeck 2006-08-13 00:29 -------
"""
We all know this kind of "warning windows" that are annoying and noone
reads it and we click "next" or "ok". A warning window with and option
I think is worse.

So I suggest to add an "dont show this window again" option and leave
the "del"-action as "move to trash" by default. There should be no way
to make a "del" to a "shift+del"-action like the option in the dialog
allows now. "shift+del" should be an advanced feature you have to know
about. Having huge harddisks today there sould be no reason to make
make deleting more prominent.

I don't think that having a dialog would be a problem for beginners in
this case, because the wording in this dialog is clear ("This files
will be moved to the Trash Bin") and it's not an "Ok" dialog but one
with a "Send to Trash" button.


So the final design would be having two different versions of the
dialog, one for moving to the trash and another for permanent
deletion. The "Move to trash" version would have a "don't show this
window again" checkbox; I think the "delete" version shouldn't have
this option, because it's an undoable operation that always should
have a previous warning.

How is the best way to provide this feedback to the (potential) patch
developers?
