Changelog Entry
Description
When deleting a folder, instead of deleting the chats in said folder automatically I have added a button to toggle chat deletion. If user chooses to not delete chats the chats are moved back to the default chats folder (where new chats are placed).
Added
Checkbox to toggle chat deletion for chats in folder when deleting a folder. Screenshot provided below
Additional Information
This is to mitigate #14578. If user chooses to keep chats both archived and non-archived chats are not deleted.
I have used the existing flag delete_chats in the delete_folder_by_id_and_user_id function, and added functionality to find all the chats in a directory and move them to default chats folder (folder with null id).
