State the name of item being deleted in Dialogue.

State the name of item being deleted from Catalog Pane (ArcGIS Pro).

With many feature classes and or tables in the Catalog Pane, the content regularly shifts out of focus when e.g. deleting. Therefore just showing "Delete this item?" is confusing. State the name(s) of items selected for deletion in the dialogue(underneath) and avoid any confusion.

Catalog — "Delete" confirmation dialog should include FC name

Bud — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 20:09:33 GMT

ArcGIS Pro 2.6.8

When deleting an item from the Catalog pane, we get a confirmation dialog:

"Delete: Are you sure you want to permanently delete this item?"

Could the name of the item be included in that dialog? Either in the dialog title or in the message?

That would make it crystal clear what item we're about to delete.

Reason:

Peace of mind that I'm deleting the correct item. Occasionally, I've noticed that the Catalog pane has been buggy in past versions of ArcMap and Pro. Sometimes, I'd right-click on an item, but there would be a glitch: the right-click options that pop up would actually pertain to a different item (i.e. the item above or below). So I sometimes wonder if I'm about to accidently delete the wrong item. While I haven't observed that yet in modern versions of Pro, you can never be too careful. Accidently deleting the wrong item is the worst!

Could the name of the item we're about to delete be included in the Delete dialog?

Thanks.

Windows Explorer also does it this way, which is a good indicator.

Hello @Jan_Tjallingvan_der_Wal, @Bud , and @Gisbert ,

Thank you for your feedback! The improvement you have suggested have been in place from ArcGIS Pro 3.3 - when you are deleting a single item, the delete confirmation message would mention the item name:

We are keeping your idea open for further improvements, for example listing all the item names in the message when you have selected multiple items to delete.
