Just discovered this change today when I could no longer delete files.

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.  :(
