I think the better suggestion would be to add an option to allow people to delete a file without trashing it, and distinguish it as a seperate option.. Trashing a file means something different than deleting it anyhow. Deleting could also be distinguished with the name "remove" or "remove totally"..
I have this problem with drives like SD cards where I was to trash the entire contents (such as to replace podcasts) to make room for new contents (new podcasts in my case). One solution is to enable the side pane which gives you the "trash can" symbol for that drive.. The trashcan symbol is a life saver sometimes, but sometimes its just plain annoying.. I am confident enough to manage "rm" without having to alias it with "rm -i" which some unixes have the command set to.. I guess it depends on how clumsy you are with managing files. But some newbies never remove stuff from their trashcan, and when the trashcan fills up they feel they need a new drive, and never think to (or can never bring themselves to) remove the trash. BTW, none of the options I've ever set in the gconf-editor has ever worked for me.. -- No way to disable trash in nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
