Add Delete Button to Chat Title #3172

Closed JayDoubleu closed 3 months ago

JayDoubleu commented 3 months ago

What features would you like to see added?

Current Behavior

Each chat has an "Archive" button directly exposed on the chat title.

Proposed Change

Add a "Delete" button alongside the existing "Archive" button on the chat title.

More details

Rationale

Many users, including myself, frequently use LibreChat for quick tasks like proofreading or grammar-checking short sentences. These chats often don't need to be kept in the history long-term. The current process to delete a chat may require additional steps, reducing efficiency.

Expected Benefits

Improved user experience by providing quicker access to the delete function. Easier management of chat history, allowing users to keep their workspace clutter-free. Consistency with the existing "Archive" button, providing users with clear options for chat management directly from the title.

Potential Considerations

Ensure the delete action has a confirmation step to prevent accidental deletions. Consider using an icon (e.g., a trash can) instead of text to save space if needed. Evaluate if this change aligns with the overall design philosophy and user interface of LibreChat.

Impact This small change would significantly improve the user experience for those who frequently use LibreChat for quick, disposable tasks.

Thanks for the suggestion. The plan is to move the archive to the current dropdown menu:

@danny-avila IMO that'll make experience worse, can user at least have a choice to select what buttons are visible on the chat title and what's hidden in the menu?

it won't. I also use it for quick stuff that's why we're planning to add a "temp chat" option (with a kb shortcut)

@danny-avila I agree to disagree. Simply copying what ChatGPT has is probably not the best way to provide a good UI. Multiple clicks and temporary chats are among the reasons I'm not using ChatGPT. When I first tried LibreChat, I immediately thought to myself that it's great that the archive button is there, and it was the first thing that I really liked about it, even though I wondered how great it would be to have a delete button. I believe a huge mistake is being made here, but ultimately it's your decision.

Then we could add simply (as you said) an option.

Normal

All buttons

All of this probably only in desktop; mobile we will move everything in the three dots menu
