delete confirmation dialog restyling

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like in my branch.

I don't really understand what "fail sauce" is. What do you plan to do to solve this bug? Any HIG work on the dialog if of course more than welcome :-)

Why are the titles not displayed anymore ? It's a great help when you delete a task with subtasks.

Also, but it seems it was an existing bug, the red arrow button doesn't seem appropriate for a "Keep" ;-)

Yeah, the "stop sign" button came from the fact that (if I remember correctly) the code used a stock gtk-cancel icon (I didn't touch that, but I could try to find a better stock icon to change it if you want)

It'd be nice if there was a way to display all the items that will be deleted, but not have them displayed automatically. See attached picture (from synaptic).

I just want to be able to delete a task with the simple DELETE button push. It's annoying and slow to confirm it everytime.

We could make it an option of the upcoming preference window: "do not
show confirmation dialogs"

I'm not sure. AFAIK, there are no applications that delete informations without warning or without a way to undo it.

The GTG workflow is very clear about that : delete is something very rare. (that's why the button itself is less visible than mark as down or dismiss).

At some point, we cannot please every user from every background. In Nautilus, there's, afaik, no way to delete permanently a file without confirmation. I see GTG as a Nautilus for tasks. Agreeing to kokoshmusun request would enable an user to permanently and irrevocably delete a task simply by pushing one key (del) !!!! That's not something anybody want to have.

I disagree about not having a delete confirmation, UNLESS undo/redo is implemented. Until then, it should stay. When you have undo-redo, it can be reconsidered.

Seems we agree that we want to keep the delete window for now. Marking this as won't fix. feel free to reopen when the undo-redo system is in place.
