Description Daniel Kasak 2006-02-20 22:19:13 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I delete files / folders on a network share ( eg I have many cifs shares ),
they are moved into the .Trash-dan ( I'm Dan, by the way ) folder on the
top-level directory of the NETWORK SHARE.

So far, so good.

Nautilus is then unaware of the status of these items ... ie being in the Trash.
I cannot purge them by selecting File ==> Empty Trash ( it's greyed out ). When
I select Go ==> Trash, it is empty. But when I browse to the .Trash-dan folder
on the NETWORK SHARE, all the stuff I've deleted is there.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Mount network share via /etc/fstab
2. Delete items via nautilus
3. Now try to purge them
4. Inspect the .Trash-username folder on the NETWORK SHARE


Actual results:
Files & Folders deleted on network shares are NOT detected as being inside the
Trash. I am unable to automatically delete them via 'Empty Trash'.

Expected results:
Nautilus should realise that these items are in the Trash.

Does this happen every time?
Certainly does.

It seems the Nautilus developers are silently fixing bugs without closing them here.

Ubuntu 9.10 / Nautilus 2.28.1:
This no longer occurs. A trash folder isn't created and Nautilus informs the user that deletions on a Samba share happen directly. It works correctly per design.

This can be closed.

Great, let's close this then.
