There is a missing feature of nautilus that a lot of people would love to see implemented: a confirmation dialog before sending items to the trashbin. The reason behind this is that it's very easy to hit the delete key just by chance without even realizing. When files end up in the trash bin without you noticing they are basically gone forever.
This feature was actually inserted by popular vote into the 100 papercuts of ubuntu a few years ago and it's been requested since a long time (see for instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95853 ) Back in 2009 I wrote a patch and submitted to launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/95853/comments/72 - I was using ubuntu at that time) but it was never accepted. Now here I am, proposing it upstream ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=628447 ). Is there any chance this could be considered? That would make a lot of people happy, really. For those arguing that an alert before sending thing to trash is a bad thing: the patch just adds the *OPTION* to set an alert ( http://i.min.us/imkITI.png ) and that option is off by default actually, so it really doesn't change anything for the users unless they actively decide to be alerted.
