Description Rebecca Schulman 2001-09-10 01:10:46 UTC
When using nautilus to cleanup files, I tend to view a file, and once
seeing it, realize that it's trash.

It would be nice to have a "Move current file to trash" menu item
There are of course more details to consider, like whether you'd still
view the file after it was moved to the trash, whether you'd go back,
or what.  But it may be worth considering for the reason I explained above.

I'm not convinced this is a good idea, but I'm going to assign it to Arlo and
make him think about it.

I don't mind the idea at all.

If we just keep the move to trash option active, this would be okay.  I like th 
idea of using the the command key for moving to trash on a file I don't 
want anymore.  I wish I could do this ont the platform I typically use. :-)

Who now gets to take this bug over?

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

I think that this and bug 104670 are related and fall under the 
heading of "Nautilus' menu's don't allow me preform actions
on the currently selected file/folder"

We don't have any view components for documents anymore, and operations on the
currently open folder are available through the location button.
