Once I installed 1.1.1.27, update 10, when I select from pullkey menu "delete all notifications" all the notifications are deleted without the usual remorse timer.

If I instead delete a single notification long clicking on it and then selecting "delete" the remorse timer is applied.

I believe this is a regression

+1. imho, the remorse timer (confirmation) should be available for all 'non-undoable' actions.. especially if its in the pulley menu, which is prone to accidental selection. However, on event screen, individual notifications are cleared by tap and hold and there is less chance of accidentally doing this; meaning here a remorse is redundant. so remorse needed only for 'clear ALL'

I prefer clearing notifications without a remorse timer.

In this case, a remorse timer adds an unnecessary step.

(Or it should at least be configurable.)

Actually this is not a regression; remorse timer for clearing all notifications was removed already on Update 9, mainly based on user feedback as -quoting one of our developers- "clearing notifications is so common action and relatively non-destructive so it doesn't really benefit from remorse timeout".

Thank you for noticing and our apologies for leaving this one out of the release notes...

@jiit thank you for your answer.

Could you please also clarify if the different behaviour when clearing all and when clearing a single notification is by design/intentional? This was the main argument by the OP.

It is by design. I assume the reason might be that if you already intend to remove all your notifications you should be able to do it instantly

This feature was implemented in Update 8, but many complained that the countdown is not configurable and there was no way to accelerate e.g. when swiping ones again. So they modified the feature I think. I also prefer the actual settings.

well is not in the Update10 release notes, therefore I consider this a regression.
