Trash can hub?

Separate trash can on every album is hard & slow in a way that browsing tons of folders in the side panel to reach trash can is not the most convenient - and it's slow.

I suggest some kind of trash can hub. Perhaps a link to a "folder" that has links to all trash cans of the folders? 

Or a 1-does-it-all button to empty all trash cans.

Perhaps most I'd like to see trash cans all in links in a top bar (of a folder) and clicking those different trash cans would open up the clicked trash can to rest of the view - keeping the top banner links of other trash cabs visible.

Tabbed trash can hub?

How many collections are contained in digiKam and thus how many trashs?

Dskx,

Note : one root album collection = one trash, not one album = one trash.

Why one trash by collection ? In fact, the trash is located at the same physical place than collection. For removable collection, the trash is at the same place and move with it.

The error here is that each folder was added as a location, not the parent folder. I close the bug.
