Don't auto select images when app was started with files on CLI about geeqie HOT 3 CLOSED

There are some usability problems that will take a while to resolve.

I suggest the following as an immediate workaround:

Go to Edit/Preferences/Windows and select Remember Dialog Window Positions.
Open a Delete dialog and resize the window downwards. The left-hand pane will then clearly show when multiple files have been selected. Press Cancel. The window size will be remembered.

When deleting a single file, do not use a keyboard shortcut but instead right-click on the image pane and select Delete. The single image being viewed will then be the only one selected for deletion.

I just got a one of those "never forget lessons" as I have deleted all of vacation photos this way (I have got a backup though). So I will remember to be cautious since now on. Just making sure, others won't be affected as much :-)

I do not think that deselecting the files is a good idea.

There is now a commit that provides the following:
- Where appropriate, change the menu text from "Delete" to "Delete selected"
- If multiple files are selected for deletion, include the file total and a warning icon in the dialog message

The warning icon is necessarily in the same font as the rest of the text, which makes it rather small.

If you feel it is appropriate, please reopen this Issue.
