Add option to delete selected files about fsearch HOT 12 CLOSED

@spsf64 I just added the option to delete files and move them to trash. Currently the deleted files will still show up in the results (however the icon will indicate that they have been removed). But this will be fixed when I add file system monitoring - which will pick up delete or move (to trash) events automatically.

@spsf64, there's some progress on a prototype but it's nothing usable yet and I'm still not sure about some of the details. Maybe by the end of this month I'll be able to publish some of the progress.

The reason why this takes so long is because I first need to implement a byte code compiler and interpreter for this to work nicely and efficiently.

@cboxdoerfer Just checked and the option works perfectly!
Just a small suggestion, to delete a file shift+del instead of ctrl+del to comply with file manager standards?
Thanks for this great software!

@spsf64, np, you too. :)

Sure, I'll add those.

Thanks, maybe other options like "copy to" and "move to" and select any folder where to put such selected files would be a great addition?
These options could simplify tasks when dealing with duplicate files.

@spsf64, yes, copy and move to sound like useful additions. I'll add them. I opened a bug report for those: #48

@orschiro, that depends on the permissions of the parent directory. If you have permission to modify it (write permission) you can delete files in there.

So in general you can't delete every file because usually your user can't modify everything. However I could use PolicyKit for example, then you get prompted for a password when you want to modify system files. I'll have a look how this can be done and maybe add an option.

@cboxdoerfer thanks! I will check this later today.
Any news on select/deselect paths in darabase?
