Description alex diavatis 2015-04-15 09:55:01 UTC 
Reproduce: Always

On mounted partitions I can create new folders and files from context menu, but I cannot delete them from Nautilus (no "move to trash" option) and I need to jump on console.

Do you need sudo to delete them in console? Do they have some special permission? What kind of partitions?
Comment 2 alex diavatis 2015-04-15 11:34:29 UTC 
The partition is mounted with:
nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show

Then inside I have a folder that I have added on my user group
The permissions: drwxrwxr-x alex users (users is the user group on Arch)

From terminal I dont require sudo for removing files and folders
Comment 3 alex diavatis 2015-04-20 17:39:02 UTC 
More over I can also rename files and folders. Something wrong with .trash ?
Comment 4 alex diavatis 2015-04-21 14:25:05 UTC 
Trying to delete it with another file manager, it gives me:
"Unable to find or create trash directory"

So possibly, it would be nice if Nautilus would give such message
