GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 748692
no 'delete' or 'move to trash' in the context menu of nautilus
Last modified: 2015-08-28 18:32:12 UTC
In some directories, I don't have 'delete' or 'move to trash' in the menu, that appears when I right click a file in nautilus. I am the owner and have permissions, I also can delete with 'shift+del', but the context menu options are missing. for example for this file in /srv/http : -rwxr-xr-x 1 hannes http 158216 8. Okt 2013 2000x1000.jpg thunar shows both options and delete works there too.
Maybe because it's not allow to actually move to the trash but just delete it right? Do you remember if you could move to trash in the same situation in 3.14?
That's right. The problem is, nautilus does not even show an option to delete when I right click a file in a specific folder. The same action with thunar shows 2 options: "move to trash" and "delete".

Why is it not possible to send to trash? If the location in question does not support Trash, can't we just send it to Home's Trash?

The trash is put in the volume that the file comes from, and is intended like that to avoid problems I guess. I can imagine not having enough space to move to trash and making the original system unusable just because a file you removed from your USB stick. I guess there is more reasons to do it.
Created attachment 303305 [details] [review] nautilus-view: show delete permanently on trash unsupported systems We removed the menu item to delete permanently and instead always allow the shortcut <shift>Delete to do so, thinking that move to trash will be always available. The problem is that trash is not supported on some systems, and the user can be confused if there is no way to delete the item on the menu. To fix that, still allow always to delete permanently with the shortcut and show the menu item only when trash is not available.

thanks for fixing. do you know in which version this will be changed? it seems 3.16.2 does not yet have the fix
3.16.2-1
(In reply to haheute from comment #11) > do you know in which version this will be changed? The change is in the master branch (what will become 3.18). It has not been pushed to the 3.16 branch. (I don't know it intentional or not.)
Yes intentional, since it requires translation. We will try for 3.16.3 if there is enough translations.

(In reply to Carlos Soriano from comment #14) > Yes intentional, since it requires translation. > We will try for 3.16.3 if there is enough translations. So please use "_Delete" instead of "_Delete permanently" for 3.16.3 if there won't be enough translations. "_Delete" was there before and also it is used on different place, so I suppose it is already fully translated...
