Why don't devs get this simple principle?

theres no trashcan on my system. was actually surprised because i thought first that it didnt do anything because its gnome software and thats probably a very advanced thing for their users but it did actually delete the file and would probably have deleted more if the key was pressed long enought to trigger it multiple times and thats very common with boomer computer users.

oh forgot that the del key is next to home/end that can be used to go to the first/last picture in the directory so someone could make a mistake there

boomers should learn photorec then (lol)

Yeah, I'm not going to defend this faggotry. Software should always obey the operator in the end, but it should also try to protect him from his own stupidity.

But today's software goes way too far in the other direction.

seems like the only alternatives are too much annoying warnings or no warnings at all and also no way to undo whatever happened

I feel you on this OP. It wouldn't be hard to make a document automatically save when you X out or shutdown. Then offer to restore documents.

One thing that personally annoys me is when I'm transferring files either between locations on my normal machine or over network an some error comes up when I'm transferring files then it hangs with a dialogue box do you want to replace or some shit like that. I never could figure out why they make the transfer skip that part and then alert you at the end after all of the other files have been transfered. Nothing worse than starting a 60gb transfer and going to sleep thinking it will be done in the morning only wake up and have a dialogue box asking if you. Fuck. 3% finished. Takes all fucking.

Uploading to Google drive and same thing happens. Do you want to? No I don't want to just transfer the files. How about coding a conditional transfer? This error handling could be done with a few more lines of code and mitigate the impact on the end user.

Some certificate schemes will flat out not allow a connection if the cert is not valid, so there's no point in bypassing the error as you won't get a valid response from the server.

cp or mv does not do that and seems to be faster and use less cpu than the gui file managers
