Details:

This is a usability issue.

Steps to reproduce:

$ touch $(seq 1 200)
$ octave --gui
In the file explorer, select the first file, hold shift, select the last one
right click-> delete

And individually confirm or cancel each deletion. You cannot do anything else
at the same time, as the dialog is modal.

Expected behaviour:
- have octave only confirm once the deletion of X elements
- alternatively, present a  Yes | no | Yess to all | No to all (cancel) dialog
(better with delete | keep | delete all | keep all words, of course).
