Description Jörgen Busink 2002-10-14 23:00:54 UTC
I'm pretty sure I've seen something simmilar to
this bug report, but I can't find it anymore. So
just to be sure it's filed:

There are quite some issues with the Trash icon on
the desktop:

I can't...
1) ... rename it
2) ... delete it
3) ... disable trash completly
4) ... drag/drop it to a panel without loosing
it's function. In fact when i drag Trash to a
panel the dialog for a new launcher appears. Seem
like a separate bug to me.

Besides these issues I would love to be able to
store Trash somewhere else. The 'Actions' menu
seems appropriate to me, cause typical file
actions like 'search', 'open recent' etc are also
stored there. A Trash menu would fit. An option to
browse your Trash (like with the 'recent open'
menu) and an 'empty trash' button would be nice.

Just some thoughts... Great job so far, btw... Thanks.

This hasn't been touched for a little while...

Can a Nautilus maintainer comment on this?

Another thing I'd like to see fixed:
I can't change the icon for the trashcan. I'd like to replace it with
an icon of my own choice.
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2003-12-25 01:37:06 UTC
Almost all these issues have been fixed during the Nautilus 2.1/2.3
process.

Jörgen:
1) gconf: /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_name
2) gconf: /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
3) gconf: /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete
4) Doesn't work at all (please file a new bug if you want it)
Action menu thingie: New bug report, too, please.

Kees: You might want to use another icon theme.

Closing for now.

regs,
 Chris
