Contacts: Contact deletion management

[skjnldsv]

Two options (cumulable):

• [ ] A trashbin to restore deleted contacts (local save)
• [x] An undo button

Nice would also be the posibility, to delete many contacts at once. Eg when imported something via vcf and the data is wrong ... Maybe a whole group?

[skjnldsv]

@frogueat Not the same issue, see #277

In the same way as in the calendar app 🙈

When there is more than one addressbook and the user deletes one of them (by clicking the trash button), the UI _doesn't confirm that action_ and all contacts in such addressbook get wiped; furthermore, the UI does not visually reflect the deletion and keeps showing those contacts in the list (cache?).

I don't know if this is addressed elsewhere, I'm in 1.5.3.

@fgarcia78 This has literaly nothing to do with that issue! 😕
Lucky for you, this issue had already been fixed and will be on the next release. See #288 .

[fgarcia78]

@skjnldsv - yeah, I see now my error... altough the ticket name is misleading: "Contact deletion management" sounds too broad and this enhancement refers to "Contact _un-deletion_ management"!! 😄

Add nextcloud activity events for contacts, so deletion of a contact can be recognized by other users of the address book.

I agree that the risk of accidentelly deleting a contact or a field is very high: The delete buttons are all over the webpage.

A confirmation popup ("Are you sure?"), trashbin or undo (for 3 seconds) would ease one's mind.

Feature has been implemented for contact delete in version 3.1.0

Can you also also do it for the field delete buttons?
