Description Yongzhi Pan 2011-05-12 09:25:36 UTC 
I find nautilus cannot trash a file if its filename is longer than 245 chars, since nautilus create trashinfo file in the form <filename>.trashinfo under $HOME/.local/share/Trash/info, which adds 10 bytes to the info file.

Also, if a filename is longer than 238 chars, the file can be deleted but cannot be restored. This is because the trashinfo file is created but empty. I do not find the reason for this, even after a look at the nautilus code.

What is your filesystem that $HOME/.local/share/Trash is on?
