Please add confirmation window/button when deleting a note

[bobs409]

I have many notes created that have a lot of information I don't want to lose. I notice if I click the trash can icon, it deletes immediately without prompting me to confirm that I want to do so. I'm worried that one of these times, I might accidentally click this by mistake and lose everything.

A confirmation pop up if the trash can icon is clicked on would help avoid that or move the delete into the manage notes section.

Please consider. Thanks,

Bob

Are you looking for something that would provide a prompt like this:

The version of sticky that I'm running provides this behavior when I click the trash can icon in a note. I'm wondering if at some point in the past you may have checked "Don't ask me again" and now it doesn't prompt you.

Thank you for replying. Mine does not give me that prompt. I don't recall ever seeing it or stopping it from asking. I don't see a version number but I've had Linux Mint 22.2 and now 22.3 and neither showed a prompt.

I don't have this issue with anything else on my system that I'm aware of.

That's interesting. Maybe you can see if you can find the current status of the setting that controls displaying that confirmation prompt. I was able to discover it using this command (in terminal).
gsettings get org.x.sticky disable-delete-confirm
This command looks in the database that sticky uses to store preferences. For me, this returned false, meaning the delete confirmation is NOT disabled, so I see the prompt when I delete a note.
