Feedback on deleting tracks from the Rockbox UI

<< < (3/3)

mhujm@aol.com:
I'm another big podcast consumer and have been hoping for an improvement for years
(probably helps if I'm willing to speak up, rather than silently hoping to myself)


I would love the ability to:

   1. Flag the current item for deletion
   2. Flag a non-current item for deletion (either from database or playlist)
   3. Initiate a "Delete all items flagged for deletion"


FLAGging needs to be a fast action.
Often, I want to delete 30-40 articles from The Economist Audio edition. 
Currently, I would have to
    start playing the first one of those articles
    select "delete"
    wait for the delete action to finish
    start playing the next article...and repeat.

Instead, I just wait until I can plug into a PC and delete thru Win Explorer, because the current delete function just isn't worth the effort for so many tracks.

Llorean:
You can delete files without playing them already, though it's still not as simple as flagging several and choosing delete.

What the advantage of "flagging"?  Deleting is so fast anyway. I doubt marking a file for deletion would be much quicker.

Deleting multiple files at once, one imagines.
An application for this I can see being beneficial would be to make "Mark for Deletion" available to the File Browser Hotkey, then one could mark several files for deletion with ease and speed, then select "Delete All" (or whatever) from the File Browser context menu.

Were it to be done in this (or a similar) fashion, I would very much enjoy it.

Any progress on this one ever since?
