Description Giorgos Kostopoulos. 2018-09-18 10:13:33 UTC
Hi! :-)
I'm on Devuan ASCII x64 KDE.

1) The popup notification (if enabled), displays the message "Plasma Workspace".
Ehm...Not a very informational one I think! :-)

2) The sound one ("Play a sound" option), (if enabled), is working only when choosing "Empty Trash" from the left menu ("Places" panel).

Choosing "Empty Trash" from inside Trash (Dolphin -> (when in Trash) right click -> "Empty Trash"), doesn't produce any sound at all.
Comment 1 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-09-18 13:01:43 UTC
The sound plays just fine in all three instances:
1.) "Empty Trash" in Places
2.) "Empty Trash" in tool bar on top right when inside Trash
3.) "Empty Trash" in context menu when inside Trash

I can confirm the useless notification, though.
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-10-10 14:45:11 UTC
The notification has a proper text now: https://cgit.kde.org/dolphin.git/commit/?id=4de45ee5076b33d13f26a5187fdf8f0e6b38fd6a
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-11-14 18:53:08 UTC
I can't reproduce a useless notification when emptying the trash anymore. Can you/anyone else still reproduce on Plasma 5.17 or later?
Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2019-11-14 19:16:19 UTC
I also can't reproduce the useless notification.
Plasma shows the following notification instead:
"Trash emptied
The Trash was emptied."

Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1

Nice. Let's call it fixed with the Notifications rewrite in 5.16. I think improving that notification is tracked with another bug.
