From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: By default, Nautilus will move the file to the trash. If the file is not located in your home directory, however, it pops up a dialog box saying that the file could not be moved to the Trash - and then asks the user if they wish to permanently delete the file. As it stands - files outside the home directory partition (common to many Linux box setups) will not be stored - thus defeating the feature of having a repository for deletions. Windows NT+ handles this problem (across drives) by creating a recycle bin directory handle that exists for the current logged in user on each drive (for maximum speed). Since that solution is kind of hard to implement under Linux, the "Expected Results" should suffice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a file in a different partition than the home directory partition (i.e. /tmp) 2. attempt to delete the file using nautilus Actual Results: File is located on a different partition and thus cannot be "moved". An error message is displayed only allowing the user to permanently delete the file. Expected Results: File is located on a different partition. Nautilus should check to see if enough disk space is available to accomodate the file in ~/.Trash - if so, copy the file over to ~/.Trash (show non-modal progress dialog if necessary). If restoration is necessary, check to see if the originating partition can still accomodate the file (permissions, space, etc.) If so, then reverse the process, including a progress dialog if necessary. This should be the default preference, but can be overridden if so desired by the user. Additional info: $ rpm -q nautilus nautilus-2.0.6-6
Changing to MoveUpstream keyword instead of GnomeUpstream tracking bug. sorry about the spam.
Hmm? Nautilus already does this, if it can create the .Trash-$user directory on the partition.
Really, we already do the best we can. Moving files between partitions can cause problems, so we don't want to do that.
