Description Maciej Pilichowski 2009-07-02 10:11:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Let's say you do this:

* delete some file A
* select files B, C, D
* delete them all (in one step)

Now go to trash. You can undo the deletions, but you cannot see historic structure in the trash. So it would be good to provide another mode for sorting -- history (events). In case of trash such mode should be default + grouping should be on. 

This is (above) the wish. 
===========================
Below is the effect, as I see it (not part of the wish).

As the effect, when user enters trash he/she would see layers of trash:

- Today, 12:04 -------)-
A
- Today, 12:05 -------)-
B, C, D

The ")" denotes undo icon. User could undo given set just by clicking on such icon. Or could go to edit menu and perform undo -- which undoes the last action (as today). But with such presentation it would be clear what happens next.

I think that this can be summarized as another field of metadata to sort on: "Delete Datetime". I support this idea!

Additionally, Maciej suggests that when sorted by "Delete Datetime" the "Show in Groups" function should group by similar datetimes.
