The fix from upstream is that the user is prompted to emtpy the trash when the drive is unmounted. This fix is in Karmic, but a big problem is that this dialog is not triggered when ejecting a drive in Nautilus, only when unmounting.
In Nautilus "ejecting" is the default action, "unmounting" is only accessible through a context menu. Most users therefore probably never encounter this dialog. The obvious fix (to me) would be to also trigger the dialog on eject, not only on unmount (Although I really don't know the difference between these two actions). -- Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
