Тhere is on the other hand a high number of discussions of guys now trying to make a volume trash.
The solution looks very simple to me. Instead of automatically creating .Trash-nnnn directories with possible permission problems to do so, make it a partition formatting user option to "create a trash" (term he understands) and then create drwxrwxrwt root root .Trash Note the sticky bit t. If .Trash exists when deleting a file, a nnnn trash subdirectory is created without permission problem. It might be easier to see a per volume trash than display by list sorted by original location. Ejecting the volume may indeed offer to empty the trash, but only of the ejected volume. It's even recommended if the volume is liable to be mounted on another system with different uids. Trash creation/removal may of course occur after formatting as a Nautilus function. I notice that the Trash applet does not see the volume trash of the boot partition when its /home is a symbolic link to the mount point of a volume. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12893 Title: Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Status in “nautilus” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: I'm sick and tired of finding that my digital camera card is full after deleting all the pictures, and my iAudio still plays deleted files. This is because instead of deleting files from removal devices, Nautilus creates a .Trash-$USER directory and moves the files into there. Can we please make the default be to _not_ do this? It makes (some) sense for the main drive, but removable ones tend to be "temporary" storage. A better alternative would be to remove the files from the removable device and into the user's home directory .Trash http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138058: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138058 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/12893/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
