People may already have folders called Name-Subname or > the like, so another reason to use parenthesis. +1 The "(x)" pattern is well known from file managers, so why differ here? There is already another mechanism using the "-x" pattern e.g. in case of lost synchronisation via IMAP where panacea.dat resolves the redirection. Using the same pattern for different reasons could raise ambiguity problems.

(In reply to Josiah Bruner [:JosiahOne] from comment #85) > Yeah, for trash moving automatically is fine. I think, the decision if a dialogue is shown should not be upon destination folder Trash, but upon the involved action: Delete action -> automatically rename to Folder(x) Move/Copy action -> ask user for renaming or cancel Reasons: - If user uses Move/Copy instead of the easier Delete he may have some special reason e.g. using the Trash as temporary location, so user should be warned as for any other Move/Copy. - If we later extend with merge functionality, user is guaranteed to have the merge functionality even for Trash when using the Move/Copy actions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214366 Title: Can't delete a folder if Trash already contains a folder of the same name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/214366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
