Title:
GNOME needs a "Trash Autopurge" functionality
Status in Nautilus:
Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “trashapplet” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Trash purge is typically a function that could be automated.
Most applications propose such a functionnality (i.e. my webmail let
me configure it to automatically delete messages in the trash after 7
days)
At present time lots of people get bored with emptying the trash so they
prefer definitely delete files (shift+suppress)
But sometimes they make a mistake and regret it : they've lost the way to
restore the file by refusing using the trash
See the paradox : the trash is a funtionnality that people want but refuse to
use. It could be the sign that the fuctionnality has usability drawbacks and
that it should be improve...
Moreover people doesn't want to empty the trash in real life : why
would they enjoy doing it on their computer ?!
The improvement could consist in automatically suppressing the files
in the trash can after a couple of days. It means that the system must
know when each file has been moved to the trash can to be able to
supress them selectively. Of course it should be optionnal
