Description Sven Arvidsson 2006-05-12 23:11:25 UTC
This was reported to the Debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=312339

(Sorry if the button names are wrong. I am using the zh_TW locale and trying to run nautilus with LANG=C does not work.)

If a "file is in use" or similar error occurs during an "empty trash" operation, nautilus presents a dialog with the error message with the buttons "skip", "cancel", and "retry".

If the user presses "skip", the user would expect nautilus to delete the rest of the files. This is what happens.

If the user presses "cancel", the user would expect nautilus to immediately stop emptying the trash without trying to delete other files. However, this is not the case; nautilus continues to try to delete other files. This means that currently "cancel" and "overwrite" are functionally identical, but nautilus gives a false impression that the user has 3 choices instead of 2.

>From a user's perspective, either the "cancel" option should be fixed, or it should be removed.

"Problems deleting on FAT partition (skip vs. cancel)

Hi,
I have a mounted VFAT partition which is umask=022. As a normal user I don't have permissions to delete files, but when I select multiple files and choose to delete, cancel and skip apparently do the same thing. Basically there's no way to abort the action except clicking on skip or cancel numerous times. I'm guessing cancel should completely cancel the operation and skip should just skip the file. The behavior is normal on ext2/3 partitions, so I'm not sure where the problem is? Thanks :-)

Sorry about that, I'm using Dapper with Nautilus 2.14.1"

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
