Summary	0010990: Optimize/Simplify delete confirmation dialog
Description	Currently, there are quite a few different confirmation dialogs (will be tough to translate), and they don't give the user information re. # files deleted, and they're not that consistent with the approach used in the sync confirmation / playlist delete confirmation dialogs: <string name="files_will_be_deleted">Files will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="directory_with_all_files_will_be_deleted">Directory with all files will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="track_will_be_deleted">Track will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="tracks_will_be_deleted">Tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="video_will_be_deleted">Video will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="videos_will_be_deleted">Videos will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="album_will_be_deleted">Album and all its tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="albums_will_be_deleted">Albums and all their tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="artist_will_be_deleted">Artist and its tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="artists_will_be_deleted">Artists and their tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="composer_will_be_deleted">Composer and its tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="composers_will_be_deleted">Composers and their tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="suggestions_will_be_deleted">Selected items will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="genre_will_be_deleted">Genre and its associated tracks will be permanently deleted</string> <string name="genres_will_be_deleted">Genres and their associated tracks will be permanently deleted</string> It's proposed that we switch to the following which provides more detail, is consistent with other similar dialogs in MMA, and is simpler for translation: Confirm deletion x tracks, y videos have been selected. Delete from the device? [OK] [Cancel] As far as Playlists, suggested text already appears at 0009692

martin 2014-09-20 07:02 developer ~0040524	I think that text should be more general: Confirm deletion x items have been selected. Delete from the device? [OK] [Cancel] Item also can be album, artist, directory and so on, right? When we are showing dialog we have information about number of selected items immediately, but no information about type or how many tracks it contains. And also I think that variant for single item should be available: Confirm deletion 1 item have been selected. Delete from the device? [OK] [Cancel] Do you agree?

rusty 2014-09-23 15:53 administrator ~0040537	I'm not sure that the item count should include Artists/Directories/Genres, etc. What's most relevant to the user is the number of files that are being deleted so that they don't e.g. accidentally delete 50 items when they delete a Genre. i.e. the number of Genres being deleted doesn't really matter. As far being more genric and not discriminating between audio/video, I was trying to use the same string here as at 0009692 (x tracks, y videos have been selected.), but I think that you're right--in both cases, the current language may not be grammatically correct for singular vs plural. Something like 'x track/tracks / y video/videos', and tried to use terminology that minimizes the number of strings required, but it can probably be better. How about Confirm deletion ---------------- Delete the following from the device? x track/tracks // y video/videos OR if we think it's better to be more generic we can use the following: Confirm deletion ---------------- Delete -filename- from the device? Delete x tracks from the device?
