adding a trash can in the back end
Hi,
After a recent screw up on my end where I deleted an entire album by mistake and having to go through over 12,000 photos to find the exact photos I removed, I figured it would be great to suggest adding an option in the back end where it'll put all deleted photos/albums inside a 'trash can' until it's emptied by an admin or someone with the proper permissions. I suppose the ability to restore said photos/albums within the trash can would also need to be added.
that's my suggestion, thanks!

Re: adding a trash can in the back end
Hi andrewjs18,
How did you delete your photos and albums? Were there "physical" or "virtual"? (I suppose "virtual" if I read correctly your other forum topics). Didn't you validate a confirmation checkbox before deletion?
On Piwigo.com it sometimes happen that a user accidentaly deletes albums and photos. We restore them with the last night backup.

I deleted the album in the back end - they were virtual. I had meant to delete a child album inside of a parent album, but instead ended up deleting the entire parent album.
I pull daily backups and I did recover the photos I deleted, but I had to download 27gb worth of photos from my backup server and sort through over 12,000 pictures to find them all.
the point is, having a trash can in the back end where deleted album/photos are initially sent can be a quick way to restore them if you make a mistake. since albums/photos are not saved inside the /uploads folder by their album name, it'll speed up the process drastically, I believe.
I hope this helps.
