Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-08-02 18:40:16 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I just tried to delete file (i.e. move it to Trash) -- it was virtually impossible since the computer is not so fast, and the file was big and on mounted partition (not /home/).

Note that the user in such case is forced to omit KDE somehow since there is no obvious (I know it) method to skip the Trash.

General wish -- please improve it.

My ideas:
* create trash for user on-fly on "external" partition
* make it configurable what to do -- i.e. small files can be copied to local Trash, but the bigger should only be moved to external Trash
* make possible to differentiate mounted (static) partitions and removable (like pen-drives)
* make Trash configurable what to do if there is no space to get any new deleted files

Same problem on Arch. I delete a file on any of my NTFS partitions and it moves it to the trash folder in my home folder. Takes forever and wastes space. Should create a .Trash or .Trash-<uid> on the drive it's deleting on and move it there.
