Feature Request: Delete file from preview


Recommended Posts

I wanna press on preview by right button and choose "delete file", not going anywhere, just delete after confirmation (in settings i wanna have a special checkbox "off all questions" bytheway). I think its cool.

It would be cool for you but a disaster for other people. Many users have multiple copies of the same image open (different locations) I can see where someone would accidentally delete the wrong image and next stop is, here on the forum to complain how they just days of work. Its a dangerous feature that will lead to user support issues.

 

Not trying to bash your idea. When you thinking of a feature try to imagine two things:

 

1.) How might a novice turn it into a problem. If your feature can withstand that question then go to #2.

2.) Do all users have a choice to use or not use the feature in case they love it or hate it?

 

This is just my personal opinions and please do not take offense.

I will not be adding a "delete this file" command. First, it's dangerous. Second, you can already do this.

 

Click on "Open Containing Folder", which will open the folder and select the file. Then just press the delete key.

Also, like I said, you can already do this.

 

Right click on thumbnail

Click on "Open Containing Folder"

Press Delete

 

I'm not spending a bunch of time on a feature that will save just you a single click.
