Does Totem delete the files from disk? I suppose you are referring to the “recent“ view, are you? That view isn’t populated for me, but when I manually add an entry via the menu and then delete that entry, the associated file isn’t deleted from disk for me. Should it be?

I find the fact that the view is called „recent“ a bit confusing, since it behaves more like a library or play-list right now (though you cannot add complete folders). In any case, Totem should make it very clear whether „delete“ only removes an entry from the library/playlist, or whether it will delete the file from disk.

It never outright deletes them. The action taken is dependent on the source of the file.

In the future, probably.

That's pretty irrelevant to the problem at hand.

It never deletes from disk, at worst, it will put the files in the trash. Which is what this bug is about.
