Description jogshy 2007-04-15 23:08:48 UTC 
At the moment you can accidentally delete all your precious source files from
disk if you select some file in the current Netbeans "project tab" and press( or
select in the context menu) "delete". That is ** too dangerous **, first because
there is no confirmation dialog and neither you can recover them after using the
thrash can.

My advice is to patch this and add a confirmation dialog like "Are you
completely sure to erase all the selected files?", erase them in a way that
could be recovered using the thrash can or, even better, remove this
functionality completely from the "Project tab" ( allow it only in the "Files"
or "Inventory" project tabs and use a "are you sure?" dialog ).

thx

> confirmation dialog did not appear for me as well...

Which type of file? Which type of project? Can you reproduce with e.g. a file from a sample project?
