...not to be nit-picky, but since I reported this on 2013-11-30, and Jeremy reported his on 2014-07-20 (after first commenting here on 2014-05-08 with the same wording), I would say that his was a duplicate of mine, not vice-versa. Perhaps his will get more notice, though, being more recent... -Scott -- 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/1256540 Title: "Ejecting" USB (ex. Camera) doesn't offer to empty Trash Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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...] --------------------------------------------------------------- scott@scott-ASUS-M2N68-AM-PLUS:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
