Hello,

i just discovered that the link to the trash bin opens up in Iceweasel.
I'm not quite sure if it is a bug in the plugin or if there are problems in assigning filetypes to their right program.

It is a recent xfce from the unstable repos.

Thanks for the bug report.

I see that too on my Debian Lenny system with Xfce 4.6 from backports. It looks like at some point 'exo-open trash:///' stopped working.

I haven't found an obvious alternative yet.

One option is to use the same D-Bus interface as Thunar's trash panel applet (plugin), which would also let Bug 4356 move forward.

It also looks like newer versions of exo-open (for Xfce 4.8 presumably) might allow 'exo-open --launch FileBrowser trash:///'.

Maybe there's an easier and more immediate fix, though - I'll look/ask around.

Hi

A quick search on Google shows that Zenwalk know this bug since February 2009 and uses this patch as work around :

I don't think that's the right long-term solution - it just opens thunar directly.

Looks like exo 0.3.103 fixed this a while ago (see Bug 5777).
