Bug#863499: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#863499: Trash: sort the files/folders by "time of deletion"

[Etienne Durup]

Hi,

A few explanations...

In trash with a lot of files in the root, accidentaly  deleted files
(few tens or more, for example) are quite impossible to restore if the
files have modify dates varying over a long period (eventually
unknown), except if they are sorted by deletion date.

The deletion date can't be show with Thunar. Thus this restore job is
quite impossible to achieve.

Deletion dates are in files of Trash/info directory. For example, the
content of some file "article-erwan.pdf.trashinfo" is shown below :

[Trash Info]
Path=/home/edurup/T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargements/article-erwan.pdf
DeletionDate=2018-09-19T16:07:53

The third line is showing the deletion date and this date may be very
different of the modification date.

The fact that this deletion date is not an extended attribute of each
suppressed file (or directory) is probably a complication for the
programmer.

Regards,
Étienne Durup

Sorry, for this second message but I had forgotten to tell that, IMHO,
this is more an evolution request that a bug.

Best regards,
Étienne

Not really working.
 - The folders are shown on top. That can only be deactivated for all
   folders and not for Trash only.
 - From the users point of view is the "modification date" not the
   deletiton date. If it is technical the same: Just rename that
   menupoint it when Trash is shown.
