Protected items list: custom countdown timer and red alert window on delete
Sometimes people accidentally press the confirmation button in the standard deletion dialogue box out of habit or haste. To prevent this, it would be great to have a feature for creating a list of highly protected folders and files. If a user attempts to delete an object from this "protected list", XYplorer would trigger a non-standard, bright red warning window with a countdown timer (e.g., 5 to 10 seconds). The actual "Delete" button should remain locked or hidden until the timer runs out. This strict delay and distinctive visual alert would reliably prevent users from accidentally wiping out critical data in a rush.

Yeah, that's a cool feature and design.
There's currently no time for it, but please remind me after the glow-up (the current UI redesign) phase is completed.
