Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Now in Hardy when you delete a file on the NTFS partition it says it can
not move to trash and that you can only immediately delete it. This
permanently deletes the file.
In Gutsy it would move the file into the .Trash-username folder.
This setting in Hardy is very dangerous. esp. for new users that trying out
Ubuntu.
The Gutsy method was a lot safer, because when you accidentally delete
something a standard ubuntu user would know to check the .Trash-username folder.
As for a new ubuntu user, they might have a panic attack and end up searching
the internet for a solution. Finding that it is in the .Trash-username folder
is re-assuring, compared to it is gone forever.
Even the warning message is not clear enough too. "Do want to delete
immediately" it should have in it "will be permanently lost/deleted".
Then you have to ponder how useful is a warning message that comes
immediately after the user has requested to delete a file. It is usually
after minutes or hours when one recognises they have incorrectly deleted
a file.
A lot of these new users trying out Ubuntu will have NTFS drives holding
their valuable data. This is going to give them an awful experience.
