Hello,
When I set org-attach-archive-delete to query, Org is supposed to ask
me for confirmation when archiving entries with attachments. However,
I am always asked for confirmation, regardless if the item has
attachments in the first place. This is to me clearly undesirable
behavior.
Looking at the source code for org-attach, at line 573, that's indeed
what code tells us.
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/src/master/lisp/org-attach.el
My uninformed suggestion is to call org-attach-delete-all without the
force parameter, using the confirmation code already in
org-attach-delete-all.
Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough in Elisp or knowledgeable in Org
source code to provide a reasonable patch.
Thanks!

I agree, that doesn't sound desirable (though I've never used this
feature, so perhaps I'm missing something).

That would cover the org-attach-archive-delete=query case, but it'd also
ask for confirmation in the org-attach-archive-delete=t case.
How about this?

Hello Kyle,
That worked perfectly for all my basic test cases.
Thanks!
