Public bug reported:
I have Lubuntu 13.10 (originally 12.04). I added Nautilus, so that I could have
it show date/time for photos under the thumbnails, so I can easily group them.
[The current version does not have the option of selecting the type of date
displayed under the thumbnails in the preferences, so I had to install Nemo,
which is based on an earlier version of Nautilus, and still can. I retained
Nautilus, for some reason, and the bug is true for both apps. ]
When I copy photos from my USB-attached camera, I send them to trash when I am
satisfied the copy was successful.
When I had regular Ubuntu (various versions prior to 12.04) and clicked on
"Eject" or "Safely remove drive", or whatever, I was asked whether or not I
wished to empty the trash or not.
At some point in Nautilus' development, some things changed.
Now, there is only one option: Eject (or the equivilent clicking on the eject
icon next to the device name).
Now, when I select "Eject" or click on the icon, I am NOT asked if I want to
empty the trash. I have repeatedly attached/removed the camera and tried both
the context item and icon, but am not asked about the trash.
I have to separately "select all" files in the two Trash sub-directories and
click shift-del (and confirm that I wish to permanently delete the files).
Why is Nautilus not asking me if I want to empty the trash?
[Awhile ago, there was some discussion about the USB removal options
that used to be present: "Eject", "Safely Remove Drive", and I think
there might have also been a third one. I imagine the consensus was
that having multiple options for essentially (literally?) the same
operation was probably confusing to the user, and therefore the options
were reduced to "Eject". Am I correct? The Trash ought to be emptied,
in any case...]
