Title:
  Unable to restore trash if the containing directory is removed

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When you delete something, it goes into trash.
  .Trash-$UID/files/TrashedFile.ext
  .Trash-$UID/info/TrashedFile.ext.trashinfo

  The trashinfo contains the path relative to .Trash-$UID's parent
  directory that is the location to which the trashed file or directory
  should be restored.

  Imagine accidentally trashing 1000 files, and at some point rmdir the
  containing directory before you realize you need to restore the trash.

  In Ubuntu 12.04, no problem, the .trashinfo path would be created when 
restoring the trash if it didn't exist.
  In Ubuntu 12.10, you get 1000 popups saying "There was an error getting 
information about the destination. Details:  Error when getting information for 
file '/mountpoint/path/to/file': No such file or directory."

  For every popup, you can manually do a mkdir -p
  '/mountpoint/path/to/file', hit "RETRY" and it will work.

  Something has changed in the past 11 months that SERIOUSLY cripples
  the handling of trash.

  I am not sure this bug is in the right place, or that something else
  handles the trash for Nautilus. Nemo, fork of Nautilus, has the same
  problem. If not filed correctly, please think with me where to file
  this in the right place, because it's pretty important.
