Subject: bug#16331: 24.3.50; `dired-internal-do-deletions': "Deleting..." message
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2014 09:18:28 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8a572886-e141-4cad-a9db-9acbc3daaa5f@default> (raw)
The message "Trashing..." (which is unclear, BTW) or "Deleting..."
appears while the user is being asked whether to delete/trash.
So the message is wrong: Emacs is not (yet) deleting files.
A better message would be something like "Preparing to delete..."
A message such as "Deleting..." can give the impression that the files
are already being deleted. If you have 50 marked files, you don't want
to see a message saying that they are being deleted before you have had
a chance to cancel deletion.
