Description andreluizromano 2010-12-03 18:50:35 UTC

Hello,

Problem: When I try to delete a file or folder, if it's big, it takes hours to delete because in my system there's only one trash folder (it's the local one that stays at the location /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Trash/)...

Comparing the Problem with GNOME Ubuntu Version: In GNOME Ubuntu 10.10 interface this trash process is managed to be drive specific (each partition has it's proper Trash folder named .Trash1000)... This GNOME way of dealing with trashing is a lot efficient and is done by the Windows OS too...

My suggestion: Change Kubuntu system configuration to make it create a Trash Folder for each mounted partition to increase the performance of the Trashing process...

PS: I've installed Kubuntu 10.10 with the package "kubuntu-desktop"...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1 - Delete a file with any KDE File Manager

2 - This deleted file will be moved to the path /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Trash/ no matter in what partition it was in

Actual Results:  
The deleted files and folder were moved to path /home/USERNAME/.local/share/Trash/ instead of creating a new path in the root of their origin partition

Expected Results:  
Each file or folder deleted should be moved to a new Trash folder that should be created inside the root of their partition

This problem made me change the shortcuts of Dolphin in order to not to use the Delete to Trash option and use the Delete Permanently option only (the Move to Trash option was activated by the shortcut Del by default and I changed it to no shortcut ; Later I assigned the Del shortcut to activate the option Delete Permanently of Dolphin)
