We can't change the command name, as Delete is a standard action that's shared by various views. So if we would change it for the main table, it would not be changed back for another view that may use it. We can only (and also do) control the command name in the contextual menu. > Are these behaviors intentional?

I don't remember all the details of the discussion that led to this, but it's all in the mailing lists archives. It is also a reason why we select the Library group after the addition. And it's all consistent with the way e.g. iTunes behaves. > On the other hand I think the behavior of deletion might be confusing to > new users.
