"Delete selected item from library" doesn't give a warning at top-level

At the top-level, "Delete selected item from library" doesn't give a warning that it's deleting an item.

    I would assume that's on purpose - it's in line with behavior of most OS - the extra warning in collections is there because you usually aren't deleting items there.

    Also, obviously the items aren't irretrievably gone, they still are in the trash.

    Consistency is important.

    When I am inside a collection, I may surely want to delete items -- though I understand that the 'remove from collection' action may also be used there.

    Despite the trash, this is a problem. There's no one-step revert (i.e. Ctrl-Z): I would have to go to the trash, REMEMBER what I'd just deleted, etc...

    When you use Ctrl/Cmd-Delete in My Library, it circumvents the warning, by design. When you use it in a collection, you get the warning, for the reason adamsmith notes.

    I believe the context-menu option is just a result of using the same logic, but it probably makes sense to show the warning for the context-menu option regardless, so I think this could be described as bug.

    Ticket created.
