Description Edwin ten Brink 2009-06-15 20:29:58 UTC 
It should be a nice addition to be able to say:
- "automatically clean out items older than xxx hours/days/weeks/months/years"
- "automatically clean out oldest items when Trash exceeds xxx MB/GB"  (files larger than this setting will bypass the Trash automatically with a warning)
- "automatically empty Trash when logging out"
(all with a configurable system-wide default)

This will help keeping users Trashes a reasonable size, instead of just filling up until the quota limit is reached.
