Omph. I just deleted some selfmade unique and not yet backup'ed movies....
Those went out of filelist scope when i batch-renamed them. Then i selected a
couple of others, for deletion - and just forget to de-select the previous. I
didn't look close on to the warning widget, just because i didn't expect i had
to...
Although one checks the option 'no deselect' on own risk, and admittedly should
never delete files way late night...but i think here's something to improve. It
shouldn't be that easy.
Intuitively, i'd make use of an option (outch - yes i know but) like 'deselect
after renaming with advrename' if that would be there. Because that's the most
prominent situation where selected files slip out of sight.
Or, make any warning widget (optionally?) show the list of filenames to delete.
Or calculate the sleeping hours of the last say 48h by system uptime and refuse
to delete anything after some limit ....
Any better ideas ?
