UX: Quickly delete items [duplicate]
asked 2014-01-03 16:13:20 +0200
Hi,
Currently, there is a 5 seconds delay when deleting an item (mail, image...). I didn't find any way to accelerate that action, and if the corresponding application is closed in the meantime, the delete won't be actually done.
Could we find a way to make it more efficient ? Maybe an option to disable this 5-seconds delay would be a start, even if it introduces some more risk of mis-usage. Or maybe a swipe-to-left would acknowledge the deletion, and a swipe-to-right would cancel it.
Any idea is welcome :)
Or use " Choose Emails" from the pull down menu ?

I'm annoyed that I can't accelerate the five second delay and during that time I'm worried I might touch it and undo the delete and have to do it again. Also, and I guess this is something to get used to, it's unnatural for me to leave a view with an unfinished action.
