Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources - Idea 1: Adding a button in trash (like GNOME's Nautilus): http://philbull.googlepages.com/Screenshot-DeletedItems-FileBrowser.png - Idea 2: Adding a button at the toolbar. - Idea 3: Adding an additional entry "Empty trash" to the file menu, which is only enabled when showing the trash.
I fully support idea #1, implemented in a fashion similar to Nautilus.
Now, I know that there is a option in a pop-up menu (when you are in trash:/), but a visible button is more intuitive, and you will can empty trash with a single click.
