Deletion Implementation in Image Viewer

[Takitxt]

Addressed Issues:

Fixes #1503 : App Image Deletion with Disk/Database Options from inside of Gallery.

Implemented Feature:

• Implemented a Photo Deletion Option in the Image Viewer.

• It has two options (which are shown in the conform Dialog in MediaView): Wheather to Delete from Computer of from Pictopy.

• Screenshot of the Media Viewer :

Additional Notes:

**Files Changed = 11
Test Files = 3
Backend Files = 3
Frontend Files = 7 **

Backend Changes:

A. database/images.py:

def _normalise_path(path: ImagePath) -> ImagePath:
    """Key a path the way the folder scan compares them.

    The scan matches stored paths against paths it just walked off disk, and
    Windows hands back inconsistent casing.
    """
    return os.path.normcase(os.path.abspath(path))

Made this normalize path function to normalize all the paths given from different os into one.

# Paths the user removed from the gallery but kept on disk. The folder scan
    # skips these, otherwise the watcher's next sync-folder would re-import the
    # file and the photo would reappear. Cascading off folders means removing and
    # re-adding a folder clears its exclusions, which is the only way back.
    cursor.execute(
        """
        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS excluded_image_paths (
            path TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
            folder_id TEXT,
            FOREIGN KEY (folder_id) REFERENCES folders(folder_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
        )
    """
    )

Created a table named excluded-image_paths which stores the path of the image that is only removed from pictopy database and not from the main System Folder.

Added Two Functions:
1.

def db_get_excluded_image_paths() -> Set[ImagePath]:
    """Paths the folder scan must not re-import, keyed like the scan compares them."""

This function sees all the excluded images from the table excluded_image_paths so that it should not import them again after opening and closing the app.

2.def db_exclude_image_paths : It excludes image or deletes the image from pictopy only without touching the main folder.

B. backend/app/routes/images.py :
‍‍def delete_images(request: DeleteImagesRequest):
"""Delete images from the gallery, optionally from the device as well."""

A function for routing to the frontend in order to delete images from pictopy and optionally from main folder.

C. backend/app/utils/images.py: The main deletion logic stays here :

**2 main fuctions:

1.image_util_remove_files:

• Handles user-requested image deletion from PictoPy. It supports two modes: removing an image only from the PictoPy gallery while keeping the original file on disk, or deleting the original file from the device as well.

• It also removes the associated thumbnail and database record, and for gallery-only deletion it records the file path as excluded so a future folder scan does not re-import the image. The function returns the IDs that were successfully removed and any file paths that could not be deleted.

2.image_util_delete_images**:

Cleans up database entries for images whose original files no longer exist on the filesystem. It identifies those obsolete image records, removes their cached thumbnails, deletes the corresponding database records, and returns the number of obsolete images removed.

D. backend/tests/test_images_delete.py: Test file, checks all the possible tests.

Frontend Changes:

1. frontend/src/api/api-functions/images.ts: API connections from the backend.

export interface DeleteImagesRequest {
  image_ids: string[];
  /** True also deletes each file from its folder on disk. */
  delete_from_device: boolean;
}

export interface DeleteImagesAPIResponse extends APIResponse {
  data?: {
    deleted_ids: string[];
    failed_paths: string[];
  };
}

export const deleteImages = async (
  request: DeleteImagesRequest,
): Promise<DeleteImagesAPIResponse> => {
  const response = await apiClient.delete<DeleteImagesAPIResponse>(
    imagesEndpoints.deleteImages,
    { data: request },
  );
  return response.data;
};

2. frontend/src/api/apiEndpoints.ts: deleteImages: '/images/delete-images',
   Added this image endpoint.

3.frontend/src/components/Media/MediaView.tsx: Added the confirmDialog.

<ConfirmDialog
        open={showDeleteDialog}
        onOpenChange={setShowDeleteDialog}
        title="Delete photo"
        description="Remove this Photo from PictoPy"
        confirmLabel="Delete"
        onConfirm={handleConfirmDelete}
        checkboxLabel="Delete from Computer"
        checkboxChecked={deleteFromDevice}
        onCheckboxChange={setDeleteFromDevice}
        checkboxHint={
          deleteFromDevice
            ? 'The file will be permanently deleted from its folder. This cannot be undone.'
            : 'Removed from your PictoPy gallery. The file stays in its folder.'
        }
        checkboxHintDestructive={deleteFromDevice}
      />

4. frontend/src/components/Media/MediaViewControls.tsx: Added the Delete Button:

 {onDelete && (
        <button
          onClick={onDelete}
          className="cursor-pointer rounded-full bg-white/80 p-2.5 text-gray-700 shadow-md transition-all duration-200 hover:bg-rose-500/80 hover:text-white hover:shadow-lg dark:bg-black/50 dark:text-white/90 dark:shadow-none dark:hover:bg-rose-500/80 dark:hover:text-white"
          aria-label="Delete"
          title="Delete"
        >
          <Trash2 className="h-5 w-5" />
        </button>
      )}

5. frontend/src/hooks/useDeleteImages.ts:

import { useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { usePictoMutation } from '@/hooks/useQueryExtension';
import { useMutationFeedback } from '@/hooks/useMutationFeedback';

Walkthrough

The change adds image deletion from the gallery, with options to remove an image from the gallery database or from the device. The backend records gallery exclusions and reports deletion results. The frontend adds deletion controls, confirmation preferences, and gallery state updates.

Changes

In-app image deletion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Path exclusion persistence and scanning backend/app/database/images.py, backend/app/utils/images.py	The database stores normalized excluded paths and skips them during image insertion and folder scans. It adds helpers to record exclusions, delete rows with exclusions in one transaction, and retrieve excluded paths.
Backend deletion service and route backend/app/utils/images.py, backend/app/routes/images.py, backend/tests/test_images_delete.py	The deletion utility supports gallery-only and device-file deletion, removes thumbnails for deleted rows, and returns deleted IDs and failed paths. The route exposes DELETE /delete-images; tests cover deletion outcomes and exclusions.
Frontend deletion API and state frontend/src/api/apiEndpoints.ts, frontend/src/api/api-functions/images.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useDeleteImages.ts, frontend/src/features/imageSlice.ts	The frontend sends deletion requests, removes IDs reported as deleted from gallery state, invalidates album and person image queries, and reports failed paths.
Gallery delete control and confirmation frontend/src/components/Dialog/*, frontend/src/components/Media/MediaView.tsx, frontend/src/components/Media/MediaViewControls.tsx, frontend/src/hooks/useDeleteUserPreference.ts, frontend/src/pages/SettingsPage/components/UserPreferencesCard.tsx, frontend/src/pages/ModelManager/InstalledTab.tsx, frontend/src/components/Dialog/__tests__/*, frontend/src/components/Media/__tests__/*	The viewer adds a delete control and confirmation dialog. Local preferences store the device-deletion and skip-confirmation choices. The settings page adds a device-deletion switch, and tests cover dialog options and the delete control.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 00b1c

The deletion flow is mergeable with no remaining identified correctness or data-integrity risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to 00b1c

The new deletion interface can permanently remove photo originals without verifying that the request came from the trusted application. Local-only binding limits network exposure, but does not authenticate callers. Concurrent scans and ambiguous failure results also weaken deletion containment and recovery.

Retained concerns

• High · security · observed: The new destructive endpoint inherits an unauthenticated, permissive-origin interface. A client able to reach the running service can enumerate image IDs and request permanent deletion of their originals without proving trusted-application authority or passing the frontend confirmation. The localhost binding limits reachability, and requests select stored image paths rather than arbitrary paths, but neither authenticates the caller. The permissive interface predates this PR; its new authority over photo originals materially increases the consequence.
• Medium · reliability · inferred: A successful device deletion is not a stable terminal state against the existing background scanner. A scan that prepares a changed image before deletion can insert its record and newly generated thumbnail reference after deletion commits. Device deletion records no exclusion, while scans execute in separate workers. Unchanged images are normally skipped, and later obsolete-image cleanup can repair missing-source rows, but neither prevents this interleaving from restoring catalog visibility and retaining cached data after reported deletion.
• Medium · reliability · observed: The deletion result contract conflates failure to remove a source file with database failure after the source was irreversibly removed. Both populate failed_paths, and the frontend tells the user those files could not be deleted from the device. Retaining the row and thumbnail and allowing an idempotent retry protect catalog consistency, but do not restore the original or accurately communicate the restoration need. This weakens recovery from partial destructive operations.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The independently attackable scope includes the running instance's catalogued photos, related catalog state, and source files removable with the backend process's permissions. No request credential is required in the checked path. Local binding is substantial counterevidence against direct remote-network access; cross-origin browser reachability depends on browser loopback and local-network protections.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A caller that can access the service can obtain image IDs from GET /images/, submit them to DELETE /images/delete-images with delete_from_device enabled, and cause stored source paths to reach os.remove. This bypasses frontend confirmation because confirmation is not enforced at the request boundary. This is a source-supported attack path, not a demonstrated runtime exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Permissive CORS and localhost binding are inherited configuration, not newly introduced weaknesses. The new endpoint adds source-file destruction to that interface without adding a caller-verification control. Existing folder deletion already allowed catalog removal, so the supported increase is irreversible original-file deletion rather than the first ability to mutate gallery state.
• observed — Frontend preferences default to gallery-only deletion on read failure. Confirmation skipping is anchored to the stored destructive-mode preference, and the settings hook clears the skip when changing that preference. These are user-intent controls within the frontend, not authentication for the backend API.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Gallery-only failure containment is stronger than device deletion: exclusion persistence and catalog removal roll back together, and insertion-time exclusion checking protects against stale scan snapshots. The frontend applies only committed deletion IDs.
• inferred — Device deletion requires containment across an irreversible filesystem step and independently executing database writers. Current retry behavior can reconcile missing-file rows, but does not preserve originals or prevent a prepared scan from restoring metadata and cache references after a successful deletion response.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Require a trusted-application capability or authenticated local session before destructive requests, with explicit origin validation as an additional browser-facing control. Preserve loopback binding; do not treat CORS or frontend confirmation alone as caller authentication.
• proposed — Coordinate device deletion with scan commits through a shared deletion state or generation check, including cleanup of thumbnails prepared by an overlapping scan. Define when replacement files may be imported again rather than relying on an indefinite path exclusion.
• proposed — Represent per-image terminal outcomes explicitly, distinguishing source-removal failure from source removed but catalog cleanup failed. Surface restoration needs accurately and, if recoverability is intended, use a reversible trash or quarantine lifecycle rather than direct removal.

🟡 Minor · Fail the scan when the exclusion list cannot be read. · images.py:650-664

backend/app/database/images.py:650-664
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fail the scan when the exclusion list cannot be read.

When db_get_excluded_image_paths() catches a SQLite error, it returns an empty set. image_util_process_folder_images() then prepares all discovered files and db_bulk_insert_images() commits them. A gallery-only deleted file can therefore be reinserted if the database recovers before the insert.

Propagate the read error so the scanner returns failure before preparing or inserting files. This is separate from handling a stale exclusion snapshot caused by concurrent deletion.

Suggested fix

     except sqlite3.Error as e:
-        # An unreadable exclusion list must not stop the scan; worst case a
-        # removed photo reappears, which is better than importing nothing.
         logger.error(f"Error getting excluded image paths: {e}")
-        return set()

317-341: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Move the deletion setting into a focused component.

UserPreferencesCard is 750 lines long and now manages deletion preferences alongside model, video, cache, and memories controls. Extract this setting as part of splitting the independent settings sections. Keep the persistence logic in its hook.

As per coding guidelines: “Keep modules focused on one job; split files that have grown past a few hundred lines when they are doing multiple jobs.”

when no override is needed.
- Around line 123-127: Update the confirmation handling around

deleteFromDevice on every confirmation, outside the dontShowAgain condition;
keep saving the skip-confirmation preference conditional on dontShowAgain.

getSkipDeleteConfirmationPreference to catch and report localStorage read
failures, then return safe defaults; ensure a failed read cannot enable silent
deletion or skip confirmation.

- Line 563: Update the gallery-only branch in `db_exclude_and_delete_images()`
so a SQLite transaction failure and rollback is distinguishable from a
successful deletion, rather than returning an ambiguous empty list. Propagate
that failure through the caller in `backend/app/routes/images.py` so the route
does not report success and the UI can show failure feedback.
- Line 552: Update image_util_delete_images() to check the result of
db_delete_images_by_ids(); on failure, exclude uncommitted IDs from thumbnail
removal and prevent the route from reporting success. Provide a recovery path
for source files already removed, such as returning the failed IDs or file
details for the caller to restore them.

🟡 Minor · Deduplicate image IDs before lookup. · images.py:523-524

backend/app/utils/images.py:523-524
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Deduplicate image IDs before lookup.

db_get_images_by_ids preserves repeated request IDs. Both deletion modes can therefore return repeated deleted_ids, which inflates the route’s response count. The frontend does not show that success message and removes IDs through a Set; the inflated count is in the API response.

Suggested fix

-    images = db_get_images_by_ids(image_ids)
+    image_ids = list(dict.fromkeys(image_ids))
+    images = db_get_images_by_ids(image_ids)
