GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 589945
Don't show the confirmation dialogue when removing items from the File System Queue
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:31:02 UTC
Binary package hint: banshee I had a single item in the Filesystem Queue from months ago. I don't know how it got there, but I had managed to forget about it since whenever I'd open banshee everything else worked as normal. I had no idea what the filesystem queue was at this point either, or how it was any different from the play queue. Today I got curious so I clicked it and found an old video file. I right clicked to remove it and was given a confirmation dialog: "Do you really wish to remove this file from the queue?" Instinctively I clicked cancel, as since I had literally just said remove by right clicking I suspected this dialog would only come up if this was a dangerous operation (ie, deleting my file). But it's not. So, three suggestions: 1) Consider using something more obvious than "filesystem queue" to describe the functionality. I know what a filesystem is, but I have no idea what this queue is about. 2) Get rid of the confirmation dialog when removing an item from the queue 3) Empty the queue on quitting banshee.

Thank you Alexander, sorry I didn't search before. Do you think "clear on quit" should be default for the Filesystem Queue (if not the main playlist queue)?
(In reply to comment #2) > Do you think "clear on quit" should be default for the Filesystem Queue (if not > the main playlist queue)? Definitely not. We would then have to deal with angry users asking why their queues are empty :)
The prompting in the _play queue_ is gone now, so I suppose this is fixed.
Actually nevermind, the filesystem queue still has this behavior, although at least the remove button is next to the delete button so it's clear they are different.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
