Thanks for the patch, RIk. I have taken care of the FIXME comment and pushed the patch as cset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/712cd23aaa4f

Confirmed.  I changed the Release field to the development branch because the current stable branch is about to become version 6.1.  I don't do much GUI coding, but the attached patch seems to work for me.  Marking as "Patch Submitted".

This is a usability issue.

Steps to reproduce:

$ touch $(seq 1 200)
$ octave --gui
In the file explorer, select the first file, hold shift, select the last one
right click-> delete

And individually confirm or cancel each deletion. You cannot do anything else at the same time, as the dialog is modal.

Expected behaviour:
- have octave only confirm once the deletion of X elements
- alternatively, present a  Yes | no | Yess to all | No to all (cancel) dialog (better with delete | keep | delete all | keep all words, of course).
