`edit-delete` looks more like trash than delete
newhoa opened this issue · comments
Problem
edit-delete
is currently a symlink to user-trash
. This makes the destructive delete action look like a non-destructive trash action.
Proposal
edit-delete
should better represent a destructive delete action. Something more permanent like shredding, burning, etc. Something that looks more like a warning/danger than something recoverable and safe like trash.
I think this is okay since when used in context there should always be an undo, either through a toast or through a trash or it should be used with the destructive-action
css class. Legibility is more important than absolute accuracy I think. A new metaphor like burning or shredding would probably be unfamiliar for folks whereas as the trash can metaphor is used across other platforms and operating systems pretty consistently
