daniel: yes, if I send it to the trash, then do "empty trash", I get a confirmation dialog.
I think that was the bit I was missing. I also have "Include a delete command that bypasses trash" turned on, and was assuming that pressing the delete key would actually delete the file, not just send it to the trash. turns out I need to shift-delete to actually delete the file, and in that case, I get a confirmation dialog. I'm for withdrawing this bug. it would be nice if I could disable the trash functionality entirely, so that delete would actually delete, but that's an upstream issue, and properly a feature request rather than a bug. -- nautilus does not display confirmation dialog when you press delete to delete a file https://launchpad.net/bugs/96745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
