GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 339180
gthumb does not create .Trash-$USER
Last modified: 2008-07-30 14:05:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: gthumb does not create a directory .Trash-$USER when deleting images stored on a mounted volume. As a result, gthumb cannot move these images to the trash. Steps to reproduce: 1. Mount a disk (e.g. a USB stick) at /mnt/here/ 2. Ensure you have rwx permissions for /mnt/here. Do rm -r /mnt/here/.Trash-$USER 3. Open an image file stored on the mounted device at /mnt/here with gthumb in browser mode. Select "Edit --> Move to wastebasket" Actual results: gthumb informs that it cannot move the image to the trash, and offers to delete it immediately. Expected results: gthumb should silently create a directory /mnt/here/.Trash-$USER and move the image to that trash directory. (This is what Nautilus does.) Does this happen every time? Yes (though I have only tested it on a USB stick formatted as FAT32) Other information:
Closing as obsolete. gThumb needs to use g_file_trash anyway, which is part of bug 525482. - Mike
