[Suggestion] Swipe to delete folder
in iOS Beta
If you swipe from left to right over an item (like a login) in a table view, a few buttons are shown which enable you to delete the item, make it a favorite, open it in the in-app browser or copy it to your pasteboard.
Standard iOS behavior is that you can swipe over a cell to reveal a delete button. Wouldn't it be good to enable this for folders? Currently nothing happens when swiping over a folder cell.
This applies to both iPhone and iPad.

Totally agree this really caused me some confusion yesterday trying to delete a folder.
At the time I leaned more to making sure you don't accidentally delete a folder.
Personally I would prefer the standard swipe to delete.Flag 0 -
I think it also needs to be more clear to the end user what actually happens when deleting a folder. Due to the use of the "Folder" nomenclature, I think many users would assume that this would delete everything [i]in [/i]the folder, which of course isn't the case.Flag 0

Good point and I agree. Either way, you can still currently delete a folder through the edit button. So it seems like a swipe is not that much different for the end result.Flag 0 -
Hi, guys!
We do plan to improve Folders, there are some inconsistencies that we're working on.
Right now, you do have to press the Edit button to delete a folder and jhollington is correct, items are not deleted in the folders. They're merely disassociated from the folder, subfolders are also gone.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.Flag 0 -
I'm wondering if maybe some term other than "Folder" should be used for this feature? "Group" perhaps? I think that the average user expects a "Folder" to be something that items are "moved" into, and would therefore expect that deleting such a Folder would also delete all of their items at the same time, since this is how folders work in just about every other app.
I definitely prefer the current behaviour, but I don't think the terminology is in line with how the average user would expect it to work.Flag 0
