I don't use Trash as provided with Thunar (I use libtrash) also some people would probably prefer not to use Trash at all. Right now I don't see any way to disable it totally in configuration. Reproducible: Always
gets my vote. agree.
I totally agree. Trash should be optional. Perhaps activated as default but being able to be disabled. btw. I do not know how to vote for this bug.
I can confirm this bug. A checkbox for disabling Trash seems to be needed (in Thunar Preferences or in the Desktop Settings).
Yes this should definitely be optional. It's not in the spirit of Linux by making stuff like this mandatory. A simple option like Edit -> Preferences -> "Use Trash" would be good enough. I hope anyone reads these reports and is able to implement this option? I know some guys from Archlinux have even created their own patched Thunar packages to work around this issue!
This bug is pretty old, but I also agree in this. The trash and always pressing Shift + Del to delete a file is extremely annoying. A trash is not Linux like, anyway, because Linux doesn't have a trash either. If I want to delete a file, I want to have it deleted at once and don't want to be forced to delete it a second time by emptying the trash again. And even if I press Shift + Del to delete a file, I regularly (not always) have those deleted files in the trash. Btw., Thunar 1.0.0 final (the target milestone) is already out.
C'mon, guys! Vote optional!
Bug is still present in 1.0.1. If you're not convinced this is a bug, try deleting a large file from a slow USB 1.0 device and observe how painfully slow this is because it's getting moved to trash.
This is more or less fixed in git and will be part of Thunar 1.2. Since we're now using GIO, the trash:// backend is now entirely optional. It's delivered with GVfs but can be turned off manually by removing gvfsd-trash.
