GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 525480
Trash claims to be able to "delete" a camera
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:15:22 UTC
Trash Applet 2.22.0, Ubuntu Hardy beta 1. Connect a USB camera and do stuff with it. 2. Being a recent refugee from the Mac, try to eject the camera by dragging it to the Trash. What happens: A question alert appears with a run-on sentence: "Cannot move items to trash, do you want to delete them immediately?" This offer is false -- a camera can be emptied, it can be destroyed, but it can't be deleted. What should happen: either * the Trash DWIM and ejects the camera, or * nothing at all, and the camera visibly springs back to where I dragged it from.

See bug #115763 for discussion about volume unmounting when dragging to trash and other proposed alternatives to that solution. In the meanwhile, I agree that dragging something not deletable over the trash should not be supported at all instead of firing out errors.
Created attachment 110939 [details] different screenshot "Error while deleting" is another weird message that it gives sometimes.

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.
