Contact deletion management (trash bin, undo)

[skjnldsv]

Two options (cumulable):

• A trashbin to restore deleted contacts (local save)
• An undo button

Nice would also be the posibility, to delete many contacts at once. Eg when imported something via vcf and the data is wrong ... Maybe a whole group?

[skjnldsv]

@frogueat Not the same issue, see #277

In the same way as in the calendar app 🙈

When there is more than one addressbook and the user deletes one of them (by clicking the trash button), the UI doesn't confirm that action and all contacts in such addressbook get wiped; furthermore, the UI does not visually reflect the deletion and keeps showing those contacts in the list (cache?).

I don't know if this is addressed elsewhere, I'm in 1.5.3.

@fgarcia78 This has literaly nothing to do with that issue! 😕
Lucky for you, this issue had already been fixed and will be on the next release. See #288 .

[fgarcia78]

@skjnldsv - yeah, I see now my error... altough the ticket name is misleading: "Contact deletion management" sounds too broad and this enhancement refers to "Contact un-deletion management"!! 😄

Add nextcloud activity events for contacts, so deletion of a contact can be recognized by other users of the address book.

I agree that the risk of accidentelly deleting a contact or a field is very high: The delete buttons are all over the webpage.

A confirmation popup ("Are you sure?"), trashbin or undo (for 3 seconds) would ease one's mind.

Feature has been implemented for contact delete in version 3.1.0

Can you also also do it for the field delete buttons?

Given that delete undo is implemented now, this issue can be closed, no? Or am I missing anything @skjnldsv?

[PhilippSchlesinger]

@mejo- could you maybe give a hint (or even some screenshot) how this feature got implemented in the meantime? Did I really miss that out? When I delete a contact, I is simply gone. There is no undo dialog and no trashbin to restore from.
(Contacts 5.2.0 on Nextcloud 25.0.6)

Thank you.

Sorry, I got confused. You're right and there's no delete undo implemented yet. Sorry for the noise 🙈

To be fair, there used to be. #1025
