"Delete Document" prompts for "Directory"

[hanshuebner]

C-c m d prompts for a FDirectory, when it actually seems to ask for a URL. Whatever is entered then becomes the default directory for further operations. I find this rather counter intuitive. Rather, I would expect to be asked for the document's URI. I would also propose that there is confirmation (y/n) for the deletion of the document. If the current buffer points to a document in ML, its URL should be used to prepopulate the URI prompt.

Hi Hans,

actually, C-c m d is the command xdmp-delete-document but probably it
should be renamed to xdmp-delete-this-document. Right now, it works
by deleting the currently visited file, and asks for the directory of the db location.
If the buffer knows it's db location the right directory will be suggested as completion.

The intended workflow is:

• you open a file that exists in the db (e.g., by C-c m l and pressing enter)
• you hit C-c m d delete that file in the db at its location.

If you opened a file by other means, you have to enter the directory yourself.

It would probably be a good idea to add a xdmp-delete-document that works
the way you expect it to work, and rename the current one as suggested.
I've added it to the ToDo entry.

Cheers,
Max
