"That's not the permission of the file you are deleting which matter but the ones from the trash directory. The issue when this directory is not owned by your user is that other users can see things you have deleted which can be a security issue."
Please don't tell me that the people who are responsible for fixing the bugs in Ubuntu are this stupid. Anything can be a "security issue". It doesn't matter whether the user "owns" ANY directory on the machine ANYWHERE. The point is that they want to delete a file that they have create & write access to, and they can't do it. That's it. That's all. It doesn't matter who owns the file...who owns the directory...who else can see the file, or the directory. The fact that I'm the only user on a single-user workstation and I am talking about my own files is irrelevant here. Anyone who can open the file and write to the file should be able to delete it, regardless of whatever the partition type is, regardless of whatever app they use to delete it. It isn't working in "eog" because it can't find the trash if the image is on an NTFS folder. But I have no problem deleting the image file in Nautilus. How complicated can this be, people? I just want a solution for eog, not a more-complicated problem, ok? Eye of Gnome 2.24.1 if it helps.
