Hi crxssi@xxxxxxxxxxx

Are you saying that you get LO's Open/Save dialogues even when the
option in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General is not ticked (which
is the default setting)?

I only have experience of Ubuntu Linux and Windows where I always use
the system dialogues.

When I came to try OpenOffice.org's Open/Save dialogues back in 2010
they were much more rudimentary and, as far as I can remember, allowed
*immediate* deletion of a file on right click.  I considered this highly
dangerous as the normal file deletion routines put a deleted file into
Trash/Rubbish Bin/Recycle Bin and I could see users unwittingly deleting
files with no way of recovering them, to the detriment of
OpenOffice.org's (and now LO's) reputation.

Now that there is a 'Confirm Delete' dialogue, I would agree with you
that the Delete on right click should have been retained, although I
would like the default action in the 'Confirm Delete' dialogue to be
'Dont Delete'.

Title:
  [Upstream] LibreOffice Load/Save dialogue boxes delete files but dont
  use Trash

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Fix Released
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Unknown
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  If, in Tools > Options...> OpenOffice.org > General, you have 'Use
  OpenOffice.org dialogue boxes' checked, you get dialogue boxes that
  allow you to right click and Delete.  Files deleted like this do not
  go to the Deleted Items folder.  This is dangerous because users can
  assume the behaviour is the same as in Nautilus.
