Smarter Trash behaviour for removable disks
Last modified: 2006-02-09 10:13:47 UTC
Currently when working on a removable disk a folder is created /root/of/disk/.Trash-$USER. This can be annoying when you use different usernames on different computers because you end up with two or more trash dirs. As removable disks typically use VFAT it might be better to just use the folder /root/of/disk/.Trash for certain file systems. Alternatively nautilus could perhaps still create .Trash-$USER and move deleted files to that folder, but when finding the mount point it could merge all .Trash* folders that it can write to into trash:.
