Hello,
First of all I would like to appreciate and highlight positively the silent developer(s) who don’t reply to posts but just give them the 
then silently head back to their workspace and grind at our challenges. I know there here because I have had some issues resolved just by merely posting them here and receive no response on them only for an update like a week ago to resolve them (seen below).
- I had a weird issue where I would reboot my system and have two sets of bluetooth devices with one of them being a ghost (hci0 and hci1) appearing and disappearing randomly but now it’s been resolved.
- I would intermittently have brief system freezes from time to time with no detectable reason it was happening, now it’s gone.
- Boot times have notably significantly reduced*
- My WiFi ftp server setup is now so fast I’ve stopped using a usb cable to copy items in GBs from my phone to & fro PC, it won’t matter the distance between them as long as they are in the same vicinity.

So here’s my predicament, three days ago when I was doing a clean up of my folders from items I no longer need after placing them on observation for 2 weeks so these are items I would delete and never look back (haven’t had a problem ever since). There’s this function in Garuda that auto-selects next item right after you’ve deleted a selected item in current folder.
When I started using Garuda, I noticed it but didn’t think much of it and I wasn’t really bothered about it until three days ago. So what happened was I was doing my routine clean up for delete items randomly placed withing a folder. The folder had other folders and files in it with a mixed count of about 200.
Technically they would be arranged such that many are not in your immediate view, you’d have to scroll down to view them all. So I started my routine, after two weeks of observation, delete selected items.
It wasn’t until 3 hrs later when tried to revisited the folder (that had the collectors items folder) I worked on in need of some media file I had trans-coded and some edited that were collector items I had gathered for about 2 yrs (some with experiences that cannot re-live).
Well… when you are permanently deleting files from your folder, Dolphin does ask you if you are sure you want them eliminated & I’d say yes, go right ahead since I’ve considered them.
Given that I was trying to get the list done and some selected items were also out of view as I scrolled down to add more items to the main delete procedure, the collectors folder items was buried in the list of randomly selected items on Dolphin’s prompt to confirm the delete.
Since I’d delete in small batches of selected items, the folder got auto-selected in between delete actions, and also got deleted. That’s how I lost it, it was also out of view having scrolled down verifying others to be deleted. This could have been mitigated by clicking away immediately after deleting but at the time it didn’t occur to me to do so because it was scrolled out of view during selecting delete items.
So my question is this, is there any way you can stop the behavior of Dolphin auto-selecting the next item in your folder after you have just deleted a previous item in that same folder?
