Git commit eb85a1ee051565a79b63b5b1dc65a8300d9080a6 by Méven Car, on behalf of Pan Zhang. Committed on 28/09/2025 at 12:17. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. trashimpl: Fix size limit check to allow automatic deletion Previously adaptTrashSize() rejected new files whenever 'partitionSize + additionalSize' exceeded the limit, even if removing older/bigger files could make enough room. Now we only reject when the new file itself is larger than the maximum allowed trash size, so the cleanup policy (delete oldest / biggest) works as intended.
