Undo popup - after deleting image

[annitoivonen]

This very important feature seems to be to rare in android galleries. Deleting images and undoing delete is much more difficult than it should be.

The first gallery that I have found where this behaviour is optimal is Oneplus 5 gallery. When you press trash bin icon the pic is moved instantly to recycle bin BUT after that there comes a small popup dialogue above the buttons with following type of text:

"Moved to recycle bin. --UNDO--"
"Moved to recycle bin. --RESTORE--"

Of all the gallery apps I've tested (like 10-20 apps) only Oneplus gallery AND Aves Libre gallery has this feature.

Why is it so important?

• 1. to process pics fast the delete needs to happen with one click. But sometimes mistakes happen and you press the button accidentally and need to restore the pic instantly.
• 2. you get verbal confirmation that a pic was deleted. E.g. in a moving vibrating car you cannot always be sure which button you pressed, especially if the buttons are small.

Here is suggestion how it could be implemented. Add following option to settings:

Settings - File Operations:

• Show undo popup after deletion
• undo popup duration (secs): 5 (default value)

Undo popup would be on screen as default 5 seconds (or less if you specify so in settings). OR when you do any other action before that such as swiping to new screen or pressing 3 button menu it would thus disappear.
