True. I would at least suggest the way, that everyone can choose to have a trash or not have a trash on removable devices.
If it's so hard to implement this, then at least ASK the user when ejecting, if one wants to empty the trash. Or... if the user wants to copy files on the removable device and there is not enough space, because of the files in the trash, then ASK, if trash should be opened. -- 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-$USER on removable devices Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: New Status in “nautilus” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: I'm sick and tired of finding that my digital camera card is full after deleting all the pictures, and my iAudio still plays deleted files. This is because instead of deleting files from removal devices, Nautilus creates a .Trash-$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
