Description Marcus Dapp 2008-07-15 20:00:41 UTC 
In F11 mode, eog always asks for confirmation when deleting a photo. These are a lot of clicks when handling many photos.

Suggestion: Add small tickbox to the deletion confirmation dialog saying 
"[X] Do not ask me for confirmation again during this session."

Thus, the dialog pops up when the user hits delete the first time in a session, but he can choose for the rest of the session, saving many clicks.

Comment 1 Felix Riemann 2009-04-09 20:30:45 UTC 
This is available in SVN trunk now. Note that this should only work if all selected images can be moved to the trash. If any of the images would be deleted directly, you will be asked again.

	* src/eog-window.c: (show_move_to_trash_confirm_dialog):
	Allow the user user to disable the trash confirmation dialog for the
	running session. This is only offered if all images can be trashed.
	Fixes bug #543158.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
