Description Sergej Kotliar 2006-02-13 17:29:37 UTC 
When hovering Delete and Move to Trash in the right-click menu, or in the edit menu, the status bar shows little and not-so-informative messages:

"Remove selection" and
"Move selection to trash"

They could be more informative, to explain to users the difference of Delete and Move to Trash.

Suggestions:

"Remove the selected item from the playlist/library"
"Move the actual file to the system trash".

Perhaps, a good idea would be to rename the items themselves too, f.e. the Delete could be renamed Remove from Playlist. (seeing that this is already discussed in bug 128408, I won't go into that)

More descriptive Move to Trash message

I updated the Move to Trash message to be a bit more descriptive.  I didn't do the remove selection one because currently the same status bar message is used for both library and playlists.  Since the effect of those actions is a little different (removing from a playlist isn't as permanent as removing from the library) and saying "removing item from playlist/library" looked a little awkward, maybe custom messages should be made for playlists vs. library.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2006-12-22 09:57:36 UTC 
that is similar to bug #128408

Fixed patch

The original patch no longer applies cleanly - I have attached an updated patch for the latest trunk.  (As far as I can see the second string cannot be easily updated for the reason mentioned earlier).

I don't see how this improves the description at all.  The user isn't selecting files, they're selecting songs, and "system trash" doesn't mean anything more than just "trash".
