We use yes/no prompt rather than (y/n) for a reason - it is a destructive file operation. What we may do instead is the following: In addition to the sequence of prompts when changing the attachment directory: 1. Copy over attachments from old attachment directory to new one? 2. Delete old attachment directory? we can introduce a custom variable `org-attach-move-attachments' with the following values: 1. 'ask (default) - display the prompts 2. 'move - move the attachments form old to new directory (same as yes, yes answer) 3. 'copy - copy the attachments, keeping the old directory (yes, no answer) 4. 'keep or nil - keep the attachments in the old directory (no, no answer) I guess that no, yes answer that would delete the attachments is not something we want to allow as automatic behavior. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
