Indeed it was.... And I just discovered this change today when I could no
longer delete files (we are now testing 4.3 for company rollout).

I think this was mistake to remove the delete option from the generic file
manager.  If you were to use KDE's file manager dialog, you would have the
option to delete or at least trash files.  Those of us who use the generic file
manager now have NO option to delete files, other than to use the command line
(which also doesn't "trash" files) or a open a separate file manager.

Other historic Linux office automation products (for example Linux WordPerfect)
have had delete options in the open dialog for many, many years.  People who
use the generic file manager are probably those that are more savvy, anyway
(most people will have the Gnome or KDE dialog).  If people here were so
concerned that deleting really meant "delete" and that users can't understand
that delete really means delete, then:

1) It could have been reworded to be "Permanently Delete File"
2) and/or have a warning on deleting action
3) and/or have an option in tools->options to disable delete

This greatly inconveniences me and a lot of my users.  :(
