Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1661

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Hey there!

Following the addition of the trash bin, I'd find it very helpful to have a button to bulk empty the trash bin, as opposed to having to click on each bookmark.

Use case: over time I've hoarded tens of bookmarks and I'm now in the process of deleting them, either because they serve no use anymore or have become unavailable. Sometimes I'm deleting > 20 bookmarks + folders at a time, and a button empty the trash bin on one go would be awesome.

Describe the solution you'd like

The user journey could be something along the lines of:

  • click on Bookmarks > Trash Bin > new button (wherever is possible to place it) to 'Empty trash bin'.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Other than deleting one by one, I've considered evaluating how I could do it directly in the database.
Having said, I've been around long enough to know that by doing that, I'd be inviting trouble 😁

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙
