While your intention is honorable and respected, you are taking choice
away from the user. There is such a thing as doing too much in limiting
user control. If I delete images by mistake, it is *my* mistake and *my*
choice even thou a poor choice. If you believe it necessary to protect me
from myself, at least give me the option to "live on the edge" and make my
own choice, ie: make it a toogle or configuration.
This same limit was demonstrated in not allowing export of more than one
"selected" item in darkroom and allowing it in lighttable. I thank you
for the return to consistance by now allowing export of *all* selected
images in darkroom.
ps: There is *no* safety-net that can protect one from him/her-self. Amd
when that attempt is perceived, much *todo* is the result.
Thankyou for a wonderful application.
