Folder Delete without warning

(1/3) > >>

ocris1:
It is possible to delete a whole folder with the mouse's right-click menu. PM does not require a confirmation of the delete, but just goes ahead. This is very dangerous when your images are sitting on a server. Thousands of images can be deleted with a simple accidental click.

Can you please put in a confirmation dialog, so that this doesn't happen. We just found out the hard way, fortunately we're backed up on an external drive.

Thanks

PM on the Mac tells the Finder to move the folder to the Trash.  Doesn't the folder get moved to the Trash instead of being deleted outright?

That is correct, but when viewing images on a networked server they get deleted outright. If I try to delete a folder in the finder, a dialog box appears warning that the files will be deleted immediately.
