[Deluge] #1679: "Remove with data" option dangerous and unchecked
Deluge

Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Future
Component: gtkui | Version: 1.2.2

Presenting the user with an option that is dangerous should:
* be ''expected'' by the user (the option should be in an appropriate
context)
* be ''confirmed'' after selection by the user
Data removal is one of those dangerous operations. Here's how Deluge
currently handles it:
* select "Remove Torrent" from the context menu
* user is presented with an option to "Remove with data"
* selection of "Remove with data" is unconfirmed before execution
This violates both simple design principles. I expect the "Remove
Torrent" option to mean "cease downloading and uploading". I have asked
several others what they expect this to do, and they say the same. More
than once I have selected this option accidentally, and [http://forum
.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25205 so have others].
The following instructions are unrelated, but are currently conflated by
the UI:
* ceasing downloading/uploading associated with a .torrent file
* deleting all data associated with that .torrent file
* (deleting the .torrent file itself ...?)
These should be clearly separated. I suggest the following:
* The "Remove Torrent" option in the context menu exclusively means "cease
downloading, cease uploading, and dissociate Deluge and this torrent
file". Selecting it prompts a confirmation: "are you sure you wish to
remove this .torrent file from Deluge?" There may be additional warning
text if the download has not yet completed.
* A new option is added to the context menu, "Remove Torrent and data".
Selecting it prompts a confirmation: "are you sure you wish to remove all
downloaded data, and remove this .torrent file from Deluge?"

Comment:
I can see your point about confirmation before delete however I don't
think it is as confusing as you make out.
Ceasing downloading/uploading is what the pause button is for.

I offer a better solution to this issue at #1859.
Confirmation dialogs are a pain in the ass; they're easy to code but
terrible UI.

A "stop bugging me" me checkbox could also be added.

Comment (by keretamalam):
I am about to leave and cannot look into this further right now, but I do
want to mention that relying on pkg-config itself is not a problem (as you
said, we also use it later), the problem is that on some systems, the .pc
file for pkg-config is supplying wrong information (whereas on yours, it's
botan-config that is wrong), so that's why I'm trying to make it work with
both (while one of them is bad).
