[One more misuse of this ML as "kde-idea" ;) Well, if there only is a
real "use" of it]
Hi!
Just want to drop here a possible animation for deleting files I have in
my mind and can't get rid of:
You already can drag'n'drop your files to the trash can. Yes. Nice.
Maybe you even have some feedback by sound. But this is only for mouse
users!
So what about the feedback for keyboard users? One presses "Del" and the
icons just disappear. But doesn't "Del" mean "Move to the trash can"?
Why don't the icons just "fly" automatically to the trash can icon? When
hidden behind a window the trash can simply gets a copy in front of the
window where all icons are heading to. Would be even better if there is
a representation of the trashcan on kicker.
Now, what I really have in mind is: The icons are jumping to the
trashcan so the sound goes "Doingdoingdoingdoingdoing..bish". Each icon
has its own sound track synced with the graphics ("Boing" emitted when
hitting the imagined ground)*, all icons are started with random
temporal offsets: Imagine the noise a whole directory gets deleted! =:-D
(There would be a maximum of simultaniously moving icons to limit the
noise and the cpu consumption of course)
Ugh, I have a cold these days. Maybe I drank too much tea meanwhile.
But afterall I don't think I would ever uncheck the entry for such
multimedial feedback for file deletion. Deleting files means destroying
useless work so there is the need for some smile with it. :)
* Hey, this must be what arts was designed for! ;)

PS: Is something like this implemented in any OS? I really would like to
try it out. No, I'm far away from implementing this myself. At least
this year. Decade?
