[Bug 1101037] Re: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable
Ahh, this takes me back to fondly remembered days of yore...with the OS/2 shredder. Drag and drop was the new hotness and it was everywhere, even for silly things like changing system fonts - and closing programs and ejecting CD's whose icons were dropped on the shredder. It didn't make sense then and it still doesn't. But at least the shredder was removable from the launcher. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101037 Title: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1101037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1101037] Re: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable
Still seem to be unable to remove this on yakkety. Since the introduction of Unity I never found this icon useful in any way. Why should I drag something to the trash when I can also right click->close/unpin it? Imho, this should be removed by default as its ugly, takes up space, and makes you open the Trash folder accidentally every once in a while. Alternatively, why not hide it unless you're dragging something? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101037 Title: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1101037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just want to point out that the trash in unity is not only used for trashing files, but you can also use it to close applications, to unlock sticky apps, to unmount drives; that's why we kept it there. ** Also affects: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Sebastien Bacher (seb128) ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101037 Title: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1101037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for generating this bug report. It is a pity the importance is only low.

The user should be allowed to move and delete the trash icon.

[Bug 1101037] Re: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable
Hi, This topic has received no attention for a long time, however it seems of large interest to me. I was happy with my launcher up until an update a few weeks ago, with two major unfortunate changes: First, the dust bin icon is locked, as described in this topic. Second, the sensitivity area (that makes the launcher automatically scroll up or down) has been narrowed down to two tiny spots, none of which even extend to the upper or lower edges of the screen. This demands precision and patience, for no gain with respect to the previous version. I do have about 15 icons that I use on a daily basis (one and a half times the height of the screen), and the dust bin isn't even part of them, so this new version of the launcher represents quite a waste of time to me. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Expired = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101037 Title: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1101037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

+1 to being able to unlock the rubbish bin. I don't see the scroll issue you report, sounds like a bug rather than a deliberate change.

Oh, and the reason the unlocking the rubbish icon hasn't been looked at by Unity devs is that we have been waiting for some time for input from Design.

[Bug 1101037] Re: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable
@townsend; it is exactly what you need ;-) There are two possible changes here: 1. Allow users to move the Trash to a different location in the Launcher, but users should not be able to remove (un-pin) the trash from the Launcher. This is the easiest version of the change. 2. Allow users to both move the Trash to a different location in the Launcher and also un-pin the trash from the Launcher. At the same time this change lands we would need to add the capability for users to find the trash in the dash so they could re-pin the Trash to the Launcher. I suggest implementing option 1 for now. If anybody is interested in implementing option 2 patches that implement this functionality would be gratefully accepted ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101037 Title: Rubbish bin (trash) launcher icon should be unlockable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1101037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Any update on this? I'm trying to configure launcher so only currently running applications and a desktop switcher are displayed. I could live with a main menu 'cause it is at least somehow useful.
