DESCRIPTION When using the selection mode in the trash, there is button to move items to trash, instead of permanently deleting them STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the trash in Dolphin with <Space> 2. Select at least one item OBSERVED RESULT The third button shows "Move to trash" EXPECTED RESULT The third button should show "Delete permanently" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: ArchLinux KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.28.0 Qt Version: 6.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I am willing to contribute to fix this I looked at the code, there is already a "Delete contents" action but it is never shown to me, even when pressing Shift
Thanks for the bug report. I can easily reproduce this on Plasma built from git-master following the same steps. It does seem redundant to have "Move to Trash" in the Trash folder, although it seems to act as Delete. In the Trash folder, when highlighting files and using that button, the items disappear. I did a full drive search for one of the files I had tested with and it was no longer on disk. So it looks like the button is doing the logical thing, but the name is wrong.
