How to accidentaly delete your photo (dangerous bug)

Post by m.Th. »

Beware at 'Create folder' dialogs in Move workflows. If you answer 'No' you will lose a photo!

Steps:

1. Select several photos.
2. Press Alt+M (the shortcut for 'Move To')
3. In the Edit Field write down a folder name which doesn't exist. Press Enter.
4. The "Create Folder" dialog appears, asking if you want to create the new folder. Answer "No".

Expected:

The process should stop here.

Actual:

A new dialog appears saying that it was "a problem with the destination". If the user chose 'Skip All', the first photo will be deleted!
