Description Kristopher Ives 2018-12-10 10:12:17 UTC

SUMMARY
When I open the context menu for a .desktop file that has URL=trash:/ I no longer see the option to "Empty Trash". I do see other options, including the option to "Move to Trash" which does not empty the trash (Image: https://i.imgur.com/nN2bB1u.png)

This was working until a recent update to KDE Neon git-unstable. I tested in a VM and it appears that git-stable and earlier don't have this problem currently.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Neon git-unstable
2. Change your Desktop to Folder View
3. Drag from Dolphin the Trash to the desktop (creating a .desktop file with "URL=trash:/")
4. Right click the trash on the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
No "Empty Trash" option will be visible.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a "Empty Trash" option.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
kio: 5.52.0+p18.04+gi
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was started as a Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/a3zgse/is_anyone_else_having_a_problem_where_the_trash/

If this is the wrong place to submit problems with git-unstable I understand and please be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

Thank you for all your hard work on KDE.

Do you know a way I can compare all the changes that have happened for KDE Neon git-stable to git-unstable?

Thanks for the quick help guys. I notice this also seemed to fix a bug related to drag/drop uploads for sites like Imgur and GMail since I can't reproduce it.
