Removing Library - warning message rephrase needed

[bellocarico 4]

I'm deleting my test library to add the full library. When removing the library I get the following warning:

 

Remove Media Folder

Are you sure you wish to remove this media folder?

The following media locations will be removed from your Emby library:

/mnt/share1/Q

 

 

I see how this does make sense in the mind of the person who wrote the code. As a user I have to admit I had to read this 10 time and still I made a copy of the "media folder" (real video in the filesystem) as it's not crystal clear in my opinion that this will remove the Library from the emby database and NOT the media files on the file-system. So I just thought you might (or might not) want to re-phrase that warning message :-)

 

 

my 2 cents

It could use some better wording.

What it really needs is something like:

 

This will not delete the media itself but only remove the library reference in Emby.

I think a simple parenthetical after the existing statement would suffice:

 

(no files will be deleted from your file system)

This is why it uses the word remove instead of delete, but i agree it can still be further improved.

Please, please add additional wording to make this crystal clear (ex. "This does NOT delete the files from your system"). This scared me to death!

After deleting a library you hear your NAS become very active, apparently it is doing a library scan but after a minute I freaked out and did a hard shutdown of my NAS because I feared it was deleting all of that content.

Hi, that's actually why we use the word Remove rather than Delete.

Yes, I do understand that Luke and as a software engineer I felt that I knew the difference between Remove and Delete and based on the word Remove... I clicked the button. And then my NAS started going crazy

Despite, your wording being correct, I think it is worth the minimal effort to update the text as a service to your customers.

(on a side note, Emby rocks - great job on it)

OK we'll take a another look at it. Thanks.
