2.18.01 CTRL-D hotkey

[xcopy]

The new beta has this new item:
• Added delete file item to File menu and hotkey (Ctrl+D) 

I don't think the hotkey is a good idea:
Firstly, it conflicts with "View > Details". This was Ctrl-D so far and is still listed as Ctrl-D
Secondly, a deletion per Hotkey without a confirmation will lead to a lot lost images deleted by fault.

you might be right that it's too common a hotkey...
maybe ctrl+alt+d ?

the thing is a lot of people have requested an easier way to delete files, and i agree with them - it should be easy to delete without confirmation (thought i suppose i could make an option to always confirm)..

[mouser]

but thank you very much for pointing out that this hotkey conflicts with detail view(!)
i'll change it to something else on the next beta soon.

Thanks. The always-confirm-option seems to be a good idea, though. Maybe this option could only affect the "deletion by hotkey" which is a far more dangerous thing than "deletion by menu". Deletion by menu won't happen by fault, I guess.

[mouser]

agreed.
what do you think  of ctrl+q as delete hotkey?

jgpaiva wonders...
Why not use the delete key instead?

And it could have one confirm box with the "don't appear anymore" check-box

Seconded

[mouser]

delete key is actually a bit problematic because it is used to delete objects in object mode, and *may* be intercepted by the shell when the browser thumbnail panel is selected (which can be slow to delete files).

jgpaiva blushes
Right, that makes very much sense!
Then, i guess the solution you mentioned would be perfect!

Ctrl-Q is a nice touch. But it would be nicer if...it could optionally minimize the app at the same time.

So, I'd grab a capture, then edit to my heart's content, then copy to clipboard (Ctrl-C). Now I'm done with the image and with ScreenShot Captor for the moment, so I press Ctrl-Q and it deletes the image and minimizes the app.

Brilliant!
