Description Walter Garcia-Fontes 2014-04-21 08:48:06 UTC
When attempting to delete a file in Nautilus, if the file is in another partition it will tell me that it cannot move the file to the Trash folder. Should Rhythmbox give the change to remove the file permanently, as for instance Nautilus does?

Otherwise the user can perceive this as a bug.

Comment 1 Dr. Azrael Tod 2014-07-22 13:22:15 UTC
click on icon for files marked as "to delete" is even responded with error-message
german version: "Wiedergabefehler" - "Vorgang wird vom Backend nicht unterstützt"
bad english translation: "Error with Playback" - "Procedure not supported by this backend"

this Description is not helpfull in the slightest

actually "move to trash" should either be not displayed if impossible or user should be asked if files should be deleted instead of moved.

This fails for files via HTTP, SMB, FTP and the likes too. 
Deleting files doesn't even make sense for most network-scenarios.

_extremely_ anoying for me because i'd like to delete files i listened to (via SFTP) and have navigate through "properties"->"details", copy only part of the path and then delete it via other tool.
