Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs REGULAR WISH: ------------ Currently when you delete something it is only moved, not removed thanks to Trash mechanism. It is quite useful, however for me it is not secure enough, so the wish goes -- please provide way for totally disabling Trash mechanism. So no matter where, Konqueror, Krusader, you name it (*), I hit delete, the file will be removed from the disk. The only chance to restore it would be some kind of recovery software. Note: there is already an option to make possible to skip the Trash, but you still can use Trash. My point is to disable Trash, so you cannot make a mistake put something to Trash. (*) except for applications using their own "trash", like KMail EXTENDED WISH: ------------- While writting the above I though of idea, maybe you like it. KDE with such subsystem Choose your deletion mechanism: ( ) Shredder ( ) direct delete ( ) Trash 1) this one deletes (removes) a file and overwrites it immediatelly 2) this one removes a file 3) this one moves a file to a trash It was just a though, for my needs direct delete is all I am asking for, but maybe Shredder subsystem would be a good idea to show how good KDE is in security area comparing to other WM/DM.
still an issue with KDE 4.6.3, four years after the initial report!

Or disabling trash for specific drives/network drives mounted via fstab. I would like my server to handle the trash, not the client
An entry of trash_disable=true in ~/local/share/ktrashrc disables individual Trash folders for individual mounts. Sadly this gets overwritten once a user changes any trash-bin settings for any "Trash" folder via GUI. It seems to me that the whole file gets created fresh instead of adding or editing single lines. But as the functionality for disabling individual "Trash"-bins on individual mounts already exists, it would be a really nice (and supposedly simple) addition to KDE - also a permanent solution too this problem here! - to just add a toggle "on / off" in the trash bin settings in the KDE system-settings and the Dolphin-settings. Thx for reading, pk
