Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
This is not really a bug but rather a very bad design which is contrary
to the whole philosophy of Linux; do one thing and do it well. Rhythmbox
is *not* a file browser, but rather a music player/ripper/burner and it
in no way should ever allow a user to delete a file from the file
system. Removing a song from the playlist is ok, remove a file from the
file system is not ok. Those two functions are placed adjacent to each
other when right clicking on the playlist files. (Remove and Move to
Trash) A slip of a mouse with a hair trigger left button erases every
highlighted file in the playlist from the filesystem instantly without
even the benefit of confirmation, and without a "trash" container,
irrevocably removes forever all the files represented by those playlist
items. This is inexcusable. Better that the Devs spend time fixing real
bugs than including functions that are outside the realm of a music
application.
