Upgrade StorageCollection management on mobile - item deletion UX
App version: Zotero for iOS 2.0.8-489 | OS: iOS 27
App version: Zotero for Android 1.0.0-247 | OS: LineageOS 23.2
Hello!
I think the mobile app UX for collection item management is a bit strange:
1. Currently, more confirmation is needed to remove an item from a collection than to delete it.
* Remove item from current collection - app prompts for confirmation
* Delete item, empty trash - app does not prompt for confirmation
I use the swipe menu a lot, but very occasionally I find myself accidentally tapping the delete button by accident when I meant to tap the "remove from collection" button.
It might make more sense to have require confirmation before deleting, or perhaps add configurable options for both (deleting item vs. removing item from collection)?
2. (iOS only) When viewing the "trash" collection, the "empty trash" button is very conveniently located at the far right end of the menu bar, exactly where the "select items" button would be when viewing a real collection.
Combined with above, this makes it very easy to accidentally perma-delete items when moving between collections on iOS. Perhaps we should preserve button positioning, and prompt for confirmation before emptying trash?
--------
Hope y'all have a nice weekend.
