As I read thru here, I had two ideas, both of which were already mentioned:
1. I liked the idea of adding to the deletion dialog the fact that non-ebooks will be deleted. Thanks for adding that!
2. I also liked the idea of the countdown timer. In this case I don't know if it would have helped, but I know that there have been a couple times in the past I've deleted something (in other software), then a half-second later realized that I made a mistake. Of course that would depend on the user actively considering their action while they're waiting... The wait can also be a pain, but since this shouldn't be a frequent action, I wouldn't think it would be a big deal to wait. At least I wouldn't mind a 5 second countdown for something that could have catastrophic results if I screw it up.
One other idea that someone mentioned that I liked was the idea of a file count of what might be deleted. I know you want to keep the deletion message simple, and I don't know how hard that would be to code, or what kind of delay might be involved while the program gathers the info. But that might be useful info to see. If I'm expecting to see 2k files deleted, and it shows 100k, I might catch the mistake. Don't know if it would have helped this user or not, but it might help other users... Then again, it won't help if the user doesn't pay attention. But if it's not hard to code...
Oh, and as always, thanks a bunch for all the work you've put into this! You've done a great job!
