Q: iPad Mini deleting SD card pics

Accidentally deleting pics off my SD card using iPad mini and apple connector. Hitting "delete selected" by mistake instead of "import" and permenantly deleting them. There is no prompt asking if I'm sure I want to delete.  Can a prompt be added somehow and why isn't there one?  Using an older iPad I've always seen a prompt before pics are deleted especially when it's deleting them permanantly the card.  I've lost some great pics because of this and it's very frustrating.
