Description Mike Bridge 2009-07-17 23:38:09 UTC

Version:           1.3 (using KDE 4.2.96)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When attempting to delete a large file (149GB, in this case) an error is received stating "The trash has reached its maximum size! Cleanup the trash manually." The only option is "Ok."

I would like it to have an option to "Empty trash" with an implied retry which in this case would still fail and another option to "Permanently Delete".

Hmm, this propose sounds legitimately. 

Is this correct way howto implement this?
 * define new KIO:Error item in kdelibs/kio/kio/global.h, 
 * use them in trashimpl.cpp
 * and handle with new dialog in kdelibs/kio/kio/copycob.cpp 

If it is, I am ready implement this and send you patch. Are you ready accepth this solution? 

Btw, I am newbie in hacking kio/kdelibs...

This really needs to be implemented for the sake of the usability.

if bug won't be fixed for 4.11 final, at least not turning on trash maximum size limit by default would help novice users. 
This at least as a temporary hack until bug gets really fixed.

If you see this message while deleting from Dolphin, you can open the Trash from the places panel and empty the trash.
