Deleting files makes a sound

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In both Xee 2.x and Xee 3.x, deleting a file within the program causes the file 
to be put into the Trash.  This is as expected.

However, when Xee 2.x deletes a file, it does so silently.  There is no sound 
that issues from the computer speakers.

But when Xee 3.x deletes a file, it causes a sound to be issued, the same sound 
that Finder makes when you move a file to the Trash.

If I had to choose which I prefer, I'd like the Xee 2.x behavior better.  If 
only because it is so common for me to sort through images and delete them 
using Xee; I don't need the confirmation sound to tell me that I'm deleting 
files.

Is Xee 2.x using a different API call than Xee 3.x?  I'm curious why the 
behavior is different between the two.

Both 2.x and 3.x make sounds. Both also try to respect the system setting for 
whether to make sounds or not.

However, there might be a bug where 2.x tries to use an old location for the 
sound effect and thus will not work. Also, Mavericks broke the ability to check 
the system setting for making sounds, so sounds can not be disabled there.

So, I clearly don't understand something here...  What program is making the 
sound?  Is it Xee?  Is it Finder?  Is it the OS?

When you say that  Xee 2.x might have a bug that looks in the wrong place for a 
sound, causing it to not make a sound, that implies that the sound is created 
by Xee, not by Finder, and not by the OS.  That means Xee could choose not to 
make the sound... right?

I did some further examination of this...  In my System Preferences / Sound, I 
found a setting, "Play user interface sound effects."  I disabled that setting, 
and now when I delete files in Finder, no sound is made.  However, Xee 3.x 
still makes the sound!

It seems to me that this bug should not be marked Invalid, because your program 
is the one choosing to make the sound, and choosing which sound to make 
(presumably by looking up certain preferences).

I think Xee3 should offer the user a preference as to whether to make a sound 
when deleting a file.  Or, failing that, at least respect the user's preference 
regarding user interface sounds.

I know this might seem like a trivial matter, but I was actually trying to 
listen to a Podcast on my system while cleaning up some image files.  And for 
some reason the Podcast was recorded with low volume, so I had to turn up my 
system volume in order to hear it, and so all the delete-file sounds were very 
loud and distracting while I was trying to listen to the voices on the Podcast.

So please do not mark this bug as Invalid, but do give it some thought, if you 
could.  Thank you.

As I said, Xee respects the system setting, but Mavericks has broken the code 
used to check the system setting.

I'd rather wait to see if Apple un-breaks this first, and if not, I might have 
to add a custom option in Xee. But I'd prefer to keep it simple by following 
the system settung.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that.  I understand the issue now.  :)
