What happened?
after mistakenly attaching the wrong picture to my note, the delete button prompted me with a confirmation that read "remove image forever ?"
i personally found that confusing, and would expect anyone else to also consider that misleading, as the word "forever" twists the intended meaning away from merely "unlinking" the attachment, and casts doubt as to the possibility of this action actually permanently deleting the original file itself, even though that is not what confirmation actually leads to.
in fact, not only does confusion occur because of the picture removal dialogue, but this also concerns the equally ambiguous "delete file '<file.ext>'" for other attachments ; which does not —and should not— actually delete the "file", as it merely "deletes" the attachment relation, and not the target.
in place of the quoted message, consider some variation of "unlink" or "unattach picture from note", whilst avoiding the implications of the term "forever", so as not to strike doubt that the actual file would be impacted.
alternatively, although arguably in clumsy manner, one could explicitly state that no action will be taken on the file in the user's home.
my apologies if you would rather consider this a feature request ; since this is a small tweak to an existing feature in order to resolve potential confusion, it made more sense to me to categorise this report as that of a bug.
