Can somebody explain how this happened....
Camera plugged into 12.3 x64 PC via USB. Copied photos from: /var/run/media/john/NO NAME/DCIM/ to /home/data/_data/draw/camera/temp/, (2 dolphin windows open) waited for copy to complete, (checked with 'Notifications & Jobs'), and several minutes later, selected all files in /var/run/media/john/NO NAME/DCIM/ and deleted (no, didn't move to trash :-( ) and watched ALL (ie files in BOTH windows) get deleted.... Hard lesson learned (hope I didn't want any of those photos...). Can anyone explain?
Guessing... the files in the both windows were selected when you did the delete? I've had that happen to me once in KDE/Dolphin, but not recently (not in 4.10, but in an older release.. pre4.9).
This is one of those irksome situations where you just *have* to know what *&%$#$ happened!? :-) If for nothing else than knowing how to avoid it happening again. Towards that end, here's one idea I had after reading the John's description: The camera's data transfer rate, for whatever reason, became extremely slow ... even stalled ... which prematurely triggered the notifier (how sophisticated is it?) So, John was notified that the copy was complete while there were only temporary files (with premature icons displayed in dolphin's window) that disappeared when the copy was canceled due to the original files being deleted.
