--- Comment #34 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
Reporter of the (not-)dupe bug 137878 here...

* It seems like the more thorough resolution may involve potential changes to
recover & discard functionality; and that a long time has passed without the
issue being resolved. I would this suggest that potential workflow improvements
about which there may not be consensus, from a shorter-term fix of the
misleading aspect of the dialog: Disabling selection and clarifying the button
labels.
* My non-dupe bug 137878 should also be considered when re-thinking the
workflow here, since resolving it involves altering the relative timing of
recovery-related actions.
* In light of the above, I also suggest that a new bug be opened for
suggesting/discussing/finalizing a better recover & discard workflow / UX.
* I'll say that, personally, I'm often only interested in restoring some files
rather than others. I also have further thoughts on recover & discard which I'd
rather not throw into the mix here.
