Zach Fett (ID: 000000ae48ff4071) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/04/2024 My one and only complaint is how easy it is to accidentally hit the delete button. There's no option to turn on a prompt making sure I want to delete a file, and deleted files through that button don't show up in the recycle bin. They're just gone for good. Please add either a "are you sure you want to delete?" prompt, or better yet, send deleted files to the recycle bin instead! Edit: Still really wish you'd add this.. It's too easy to misclick since CLEAR LIST is right above DELETE ALL FROM DISK.
